Heavy straight pins are called bank pins because they were historically used in banks to secure large stacks of paper, such as currency and important documents. The term likely originated from their use in banking institutions where reliability and strength were essential for keeping materials organized and secure. The name has persisted over time, even as their application has expanded beyond banking.
