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?

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).

These are actually the newest additions to my Bank Notes collection, it was given by a friend just a few days ago. He got them from another friend who used to work in Yemen. It pays to have a lot of networks.
Btw, I am open to bank notes as gifts or exchange
