Spotted this one in a spam email, google finds a couple of them:
“First of all I’m a noob in Mac, Actually I don’t own a mac yet but I’m feeding my pickybank to get one very soon.”

“Yes, it is only going to get as good as the monitor used! Currently two Dell! but I am adding my change to pickybank every day now, so hopefully I can grap a EIZO next year!”

Several more are out there if you search on “picky bank” (two words in quotes.)
“Once the heat finally got to Reno, he decided he would just have to break him like a picky bank when he caught him instead.” (link doesnt work for this one)
“Buddy if you want a Mac you better get a picky bank and start saving some bucks for a power Mac.”

“I am one of those with a life time license – it is time to empty
the picky bank.”

Maybe this is an eggcorn, people thinking of little banks for small, “picky” or picayune amounts of money, but it’s hard to know if there’s really any imagery like that going on in their heads.
