| 你係唔係一個會帶散銀出街, 然後買嘢就會摷晒啲散銀出嚟嘅人?? 又或者你買嘢嘅時候會找一大堆散銀返嚟, 因為怕麻煩, 就全數擺喺屋企完全唔會再帶出街?? 我係屬於前者, 散銀都係錢, 點解要擺喺度唔用?? 擺喺度啲錢又唔會自己再生錢係唔係先?? 不過最近又好玩嘢喎, 開始將啲五角錢收起嚟擺入呢個玻璃罌.. 就好似以前細個嘅時候, 大家總係有一個豬仔錢罌, 每日都入幾個散銀入去咁.. 見到個錢罌慢慢咁滿, 其實都好有成就感嘅.. 尤其當你開始嘅時候就已經定下一個目標, 啲錢你要用嚟買呢樣買嗰樣, 我覺得可能會更加motivate自己儲錢囉.. 眼見呢個玻璃罌已經大概有五分之一滿, 我又有個衝動要儘快裝滿佢喎, 哈哈.. 大家不如估下裝滿晒五角錢之後, 呢一罌錢總共會有幾多呢?? $.$ |
| are you someone who brings coins with you, and when you are buying something you dig them out to give exact change?? or are you someone who brings back all the coins home, because you think they are troublesome, you just keep them at home forever?? i am of the former type, coins are still money, why just leave them aside unused?? they won't grow extra money if you just leave them in the drawer right?? but lately i kind of play around, i started to collect my 50-sen coins and put them all into this glass container.. just like when we were kids, we used to have one piggy bank where we slot in a few coins everyday.. when we see the piggy bank is slowly getting full, we feel very contented.. especially if we have already set a goal for ourselves when we started saving the coins, we'll use the money to buy this and that, i guess this way were are even more motivated to save money.. looking at this container of mine which is about one-fifth full, i am now more determined to fill it up as soon as possible, haha.. guess when this glass container is filled up with 50-sen coins, how much money will i have then?? $.$ |

Good morning, SK!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very good habit! As for me, I simply put them everywhere. I don't actually keep them. My boss used to keep them in his piggy bank and he finally had to break it!
DeleteIn the shop, we need lots of 50 sen. We always get them from the bank or the kiddy rides man.
DeleteGood morning Wenn.
DeleteMe I will put in my purse and bag.
Yea....shops usually needs a lot of coins. If change from Bank will kena charge...duno RM8 or RM10 a bag...not sure how much is it now.
Usually the nasi lemak seller in my old house will as if I have any coins to change with them or not
Good evening, Small Kucing! I usually put coins in the car. If I got change, I will usually keep for my shop.
DeleteBtw, we hardly get coins from the bank. Good thing, they don't charge us extra. But the other guy from MBI will charge us extra.
usually banks will charge la coz they have to pay for the security transport from Bank Negara to the branch.
Deletesometimes people take coins to the bank and we would take them back. So in this case, there's no extra charges.
DeleteI don't stash my coins at home. Whatever small change I got, I just keep in wallet to use.
ReplyDeleteIf something total up to like... RM10.05 or RM10.15, I'll find that 5 or 15 den. :-P
hahahaha 2 x 5 like me la....will go and korek korek out all the coins from the purse and bag...
DeleteI usually change with my colleague who handles petty cash. MUahaha
DeleteYou wanna buy Bananaz kah? Muahahahaha!!!!
ReplyDeleteNot for sale haha
DeleteThey say the worth of the metal used in making the coins is more than its value so people will collect and sell to the scrap metal collector. That is why they've stopped those RM1 coins.
ReplyDeleteIs that true? I still have a lot, a lot of one sen copper coins. 5-sen coins too.
DeleteThose RM1 coins are collector's items now. Worth a pretty penny now.
I think i still have those RM1 coins stashed some where.....last time my wedding one colleague very naughty...he went and change RM100 in RM1 coins and wrapped in a box as wedding pressie for me hahahahah that fella so darn funny
DeleteI still keep the RM1 coins that were given to me as a wedding gift. A whole "treasure box" of it. It's stashed way back in my almari baju. :P
DeleteThat's valuable! I think I only have one RM1 coin.
Deletewhooosh.....can become orang kaya lor...now the rm1 coin has become collector's item. Kinda regret pulak i tarak keep back more
DeleteReally ah?
DeleteLike that must keep quiet la... Later people "mark" me. LOL
I'm not in the habit of stashing away loose change simply because I find it a hassle having to change them into notes when the jar is filled but lately, I've started to collect the new 20 and 50 sen coins - just for that 'gold' effect, them being so new and all.
ReplyDeleteI have collected a lot of the new 50, 20 and 10 sen but recently I had get 'rid' of them.
DeleteI will collect coins from certain years ...like the 50 sens coins with parlimen logo.
DeleteI will collect coins from certain years ...like the 50 sens coins with parlimen logo.
DeleteI will collect coins from certain years ...like the 50 sens coins with parlimen logo.
DeleteOh gosh, my manners! Good morning SK, everyone!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder we can hardly find 50-sen coins in circulation. They are all in piggy-banks! I know a few others who also just collect them 50-sen coins.
Those were the days when my kids and I saved in piggy banks.. nowadays coins are more or less getting value-less... so no more savings like this already... I normally use all my coins in the wallet first before using notes.. :)
ReplyDeletesame here But WK stash his coins all over the house. If you come you can find coins everywhere...
DeleteSame here Claire, no more piggy banks now, I'd rather use those coins first before using notes.
DeleteShould have RM 100+, I guess~
ReplyDeleteerrr...if gessed the correct answer will the the whole jar ka? ....I guess amount for that jar will be rm53.50.
ReplyDeleteIt will be a lot by then. Probably RM200 or more.
DeleteGood afternoon SK and everyone!
ReplyDeleteIt's a hot day here leh!! Aiyoyoyo... Rather stay at home with Aden >.<
Oh, I am like you too! I'll bring coins with me, in fact I'll 'stock up' coins in my purse time to time, hehe~ It's more convenient and I don't mind the 'weight' la! Sometimes if we bought something ends with few cents, we can give the sales person exact amount ma! Imagine buying things with RM 10.10, it's better to give that 10 cent rather to have the sales person to give 90 cents in exchange right?
DeleteMy hubby is totally opposite with me, he will bring back all the coins and put inside a container which I've prepare, haha xD
DeleteSo like every 2-3 weeks I'll count those coins and go exchange with the newspaper man/grocery tauke, like that I can 'earn' some money liao, hahaha xD
No point keeping those coins la~
And you know whenever we go overseas surely we'll bring back some coins too right? So I'll just keep them nicely and when I go travel again next time, I'll bring a coin purse along, will try to use those coins first instead of notes....
DeleteI will make sure I use up all or if not, almost all of my coins at the airport before coming back after the trip.
DeleteUsually only bring back like a few cents max home.
There's a lot of cheap stuff we can buy and maybe as last minute souvenir buying with all those loose change. :P
Hayley...same over here la....i would use the coins but husband will bring back the coins and it be all over the table under the table whatever
DeleteHmmm actually hor...if let say lazy to buy gifts from overseas for friends can family, actually can use those coins and give to them. But of course la must frame up nicely or put in a creative box. Am sure ah Boy will have a lot of idea one how to make . He is very creative
Put coins in a box or frame is a great idea Meow!
DeleteMuch better and more classy than just"dump" the coins to them. :-)
My FIL keeps jars and jars of coins at home.
ReplyDeleteI rather use my coins. :P
Money I want to save, I immediately save up after I get my salary. hihihi
A colleague of mine, keeps two coins jars at work.
ReplyDeleteOne for the 50sen coins.
One for the 20sen coins.
She says it resembles gold.
So she's keeping gold at her work place.
I keep my gold in the underwear drawer! LOL
chinese ka or what? maybe believe in Feng shui...gold color coins mah
DeleteNow I know how to rob Meow's house at night! Look for the gold in her underwears! Maybe kaldip's underwear have diamonds and bank notes!!
DeleteI think you guys should buy the Groupon's safe deposit box that looks like Dictionary.
Whether is RM0.50 cents or RN0.20 cents they are also money can use one... Good to make a habit to keep in jars...
DeleteBy the way, to guess how much will be in the jar, I have to know first. That jar actual size kah? :P
ReplyDeletewell, sometime i do dig out the exact amount but sometime don't~ XD
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon SK...
ReplyDeleteSame, i will keep 50 cent in container... lol
DeleteI will not keep coin, but use them...
DeleteIf for example, 70 cents, if not much people, i will dig out to give them exact amount, if not i will give note for them to change...
DeleteHave a great day ahead...
DeleteGood evening, everyone! It's a good habit to keep those coins. Banks will welcome those coins as most shops will need those coins for business.
ReplyDeleteBanks welcome them but charges you a fee to deposit coins.
DeleteWelcome with a condition. :-P
I am the former like you, keep the coins, the money won't grow also, I seldom save up the coins but will use them all up.
ReplyDeleteHard to guess how much in the container if full. I will give it a miss.
ReplyDeleteBut my sister has the habit of keeping S$0.50 and S$1 in her piggy bank.
ReplyDeleteI still have some Taiwan coins with me which money changer don't want to accept. Will use them the next time I go Taiwan again.
ReplyDeleteMorning SK. Was missing in action yesterday because my son was having a fever, so I stayed at home to takecare him. Became a 1-day stay-at-home-mum, maid+slave. Haha..
ReplyDeleteI don't collect coins, but I use them everyday. I try to. I don't keep and store them at home, but I will keep them in my coin wallet. Will try to use/empty the wallet as much as possible, on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteBut the hubs, is different from me. He doesn't empty up his coins everyday, and he brings them back. Bring them back nevermind, he never put into his wallet again to use the next day. You know what? He always leaves the coins in his pants/pockets, then straightaway throw into the washing machine (without checking).. Then when the washing machine is running, I can hear "kiling kalang kiling kalang".. I have mild OCD and I am crazy right, each time that happens, I feel like stopping the machine and dig the coins out! Really behtahan.
And sometimes, when I am hanging the clothes, the coins will drop out from his pants/pockets onto the floor with a LOUD "kling kling"... OMG, I feel like strangling him already.. Yes, again, crazy's my name.
Did I just said the word "strangle? OMG... Really.. After umpteenth times of nagging from me, he still throw his pants into the washing machine with the coins still inside, and when I hang the clothes, all the coins will drop on the floor. Gawd, I hate that "kling" sound.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I will behtahan him to the extent I immediately switch on the vacumn cleaner, and vacumn up the coins, in front of him!
Wakakakaka What a garang wife to suck up with vacuum cleaner! My wife would take them out for me nicely with a smile but anyway that never happened cos I had this habit since small to remove the coins.
DeleteMaybe you should check all his pockets before washing so that it won't stress you at all. Remember to control the situation instead of let the situation control you.
Hi TM, hmm, yes, I agree.. I always let the situation control me..Yeah wor, I purposely switch on the vacumn and suck up the coins lagi, hahaha..Hmm, dunno now the vacumn dust bag got how much money liao, kekekeke...
DeleteI always had spare changes and kept them for many years. I would store in all money boxes, tins and antique bowls until full. The whole total exceeded over one thousand ringgit which included some expired One Ringgit coins!! kanasai I wasted them.
ReplyDeleteAfter that incident I took many bundles of coins to my regular coffee shops to change. The taukehs loved my coins so much that they wanted to kiss me! I didn't know that most of them found it almost impossible to get loose coins often from the banks.
裝滿應該有百幾二百吻啩！？
ReplyDeleteGood Evening everyone & SK!!! =]
ReplyDeleteI'm same as you, also want to finish my coins cause it's so heavy to carry around!!! =]
ReplyDeleteBut that's one time what happened to me in my HK trip was...that 7-11 guy does't want to take my coins, he straight away ask the next customer to come over cause he doesn't want to waste the time to calculate the coins!!! What!!! =.=!!!
DeleteI remember I always received piggy bank as birthday gift during my primary and secondary school!!! =]
ReplyDeleteBut now I don't know where I kept it already!!! =[
DeleteI think should you should have Rm50++ in the end (simply guess only)!!! =]
ReplyDeleteHi everyone...
ReplyDeleteIt is a good habit to keep those coins in that container....once it is full. I guess it can be fill up easily until RM100. Don't ever look down on those lil coins... it will make you rich at the end. Sedikit Sedikit Lam Lama Jadi Bukit.
Probably right now you have around RM45? My wild guess... Keep it up and collect more coins...You definitely will feel contented after you counted how much is it. Wah....$$$. Gonna make you save more next time and probably get a larger bottle. *_^
DeleteRight now, parking we do not need coins anymore... so keep all in the house....
DeleteThe more heavier you have...I think those who want to steal it also very susah to move it... So heavy, how to run away? Don't you think is the most safe place to keep money/fund? Muahaha....
DeleteHubby and I have a habit to keep those coins in our fat piggy bank! Whenever my coin pouch weight heavier I'll transfer to the piggy bank at home. No matter it is 50cents, 20cents or 10cents and even 5cents too. It is still money then....
ReplyDeleteLast couple of months we just transferred all those coins out. Counted and separated in different bags - 50cents, 20cents and 10cents. Then labelled the amount of those coins...Then before we bank in into our kids account, I exchanged those coins with my friend's neighbor. He sells wan tan mee in the hawker center - definitely needs lot of coins during his business. So, once changed and I'll get my hubby to bank in into my kids account. We save it for their future use.
DeleteMy fat piggy bank - can keep lots of money in it. It takes 2 years - to get the piggy full with coins. We just keep coins and never bother it until...it is very heavy to be lifted...Phew! takes 2 nights to count the coins leh...hard earn money....Imagine how much we have collected that last time? RM360...alot leh.
DeleteUsually for those foreign coins... I segregated and keep in different coin jars. I have a few. We have one specifically for Thai Baht coins. Cos we go there more frequently. The rest in another one.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I have coins in hand, I'll use it more if I'm doing my groceries shopping.
DeleteIf, let say total is RM5.10. I'll asked Uncle got discount ar? I'll try to persuade and ask him don't count the 10cent instead....
DeleteWhat if is RM9.70, I'll say Uncle try to top up until it become RM10. Easy right?
But I can't do that at Tesco or shopping mall lor.. Then will have to use those coins.
During overseas, we usually received coins from the changed. It is ok... I always get use to it already. My bag always has a wallet for cards and notes. Another wristets poucg mainly for coins.
DeleteThose stock up Thai Baht coins - I used to buy desserts and kuih muih at Hatyai morning market and night bazaar. My coins pouch easily lighten this way. Some times contribute some donation inside the temple.
DeleteFor other countries coins, usually hubby and I will combine both of us coins and see how much we can get. Usually we do that on the last night of our holidays. Later when we wanna get souvenirs, snacks and bought lil gifts back we try to use it up as much as possible. Cos those coins aren't value anymore and not accepted by the money changer.
DeleteI still remember, hubby and I during our last minute shopping at Tokyo Disneyland...lots of coins we have that time! Went to the gift shops - searching for all sorts of key chains and we bought back home. Variety of them. At one point you may think key chains, waste of money! But what we can do with those coins if bring back to Msia? At least we have some souvenirs back home and until now we still keep it. *_^
DeleteI will use all the coins too. I will also keep some of the coins at home, because I will give my two girls some coins every night to put into their coin bank.
ReplyDeleteHow's life SK? Dropping by here, I see many new faces, and I also see Anay has started to interact with new faces.
