Singapore New Coins

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST MY PHOTOS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN STEALING MY PHOTOS AND REPOST TO THEIR BLOGS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION AND THE MOST DIGUSTING THING THEY DID WAS SCREEN SHOT MY PHOTO AND CORP OFF MY BLOG TITLE.

Singapore new coins replacing all the old coins but dont worry the old coins are still legal. The new coins are very pretty, with each coin having a face with famous landmarks/attractions in Singapore. The $1 coin has a face of the Merlion, the 50 cents coin has a face of the shipping port, the 20 cents coin has a face of the Changi Airport, the 10 cents coin has a face of our public housing and the 5 cents coin has a face of the esplanade.

Here are the three generations of the $1 coins. The first generation of the $1 coin is so unique, you could hardly find it in circulation anymore while the other lower denominations of the first generation can still be found in circulation.

Hahaha I still have only eight pieces of the first generation of the $1 coins.

You can view the official website of Monetary Authority of Singapore for more information on the new coins.

Excellent post to cover the different series of Singapore coins. :)

I was thinking of posting an article about the new coins as well, but glad that you have done it. I personally prefer series 2 to series 3. Felt that it was better spaced out in series 2 than 3.

Have a great weekend.

I like the latest design of the new coins but the size of the 50 and 20 cents look the same can cause some confusion especially to older people like me that are long and short sighted.

Hi Alice! Hope you are having a superb summer! And hope you get millions of those new coins... ;)
Sorry for the absence, but 2013 has been even worse than 2012... Anyhow, enjoy the blues of Grenada, and have a great vacation, if you can manage!!
All the best!
