they did away with the penny liao?

Heard from some thai guy that the current 1 dollar SGD gold coin is "blessed" and is good to keep one in the pocket wherever you go. Some feng shui logic I suppose.
Not sure if this new set of coins retains that "blessed" element.

Owner of the coin vending machine will angry because they need to pay money for the contractor to change or calibrate to adapt to new coin.
Another way to milk money and create job.

How come did not have old man picture on the coins? Young people nowadays, no big no small...

Why no $2 or $5 coin?

 

[Devil Within]

No more 1 cent coin?

 

[AntiPAPunk]

No more 1 cent coin?

I think they know it's a waste because many people don't like 5 cents.

If u look carefully, the $1 still retains the lucky feature. The sign of Ba Qua (octagon). In fact, 1 small, 1 big :-)
