Philippines New 20 Pesos

Part of my Bank Notes collection

A colleague came back from vacation and gave me this as pasalubong! I know it’s just of small value but it made me really happy. My friends always makes fun of my ‘mukhang pera’ attitude (because I always ask them for bank notes whenever they are travelling or if they knew someone from this or that country). Is it bad?

I won it from Georyl’s Christmas Giveaway, courtesy of Sheryl!

I especially requested for my collections to be just a click away (on the sidebar) and something pink.

Lovin’ everything about it. Thanks She!


I’m not sure if she is doing the blog make over for a fee but I am also curious. Let’s visit her blogs and ask her.

There are two kinds of banknotes out in Singapore , the paper (old) and polymer (new). I’m missing the denominations SGD 20, 100, 500, 1000 and 10000. But I guess I’ll just have to get SGD 20 and 100 because the higher denominations are way too expensive (unless someone would give it to me).

Exchange Rate

1 USD = 1.274 SGD

1 SGD = 33.998 PHP

 

 

Philippines’ 10 and 20 Centavos Bank Notes (1949)

I bet only a few saw these 1949 ten and twenty centavos in bank notes! I got those from a favorite uncle who also collects bank notes and coins.

Actual size is smaller, 9.5cm x 4.7cm
