Worlds Collide

for everyone
This morning, I opened our ancient buddha coin bank. Sana I opened it a long time ago. It's 20 years too late. :P I had a total of 67.38 pesos, 47 cents (US) and some 50-something coin from Saudi (kahit walang nag-Saudi sa amin). If I opened this back in grade school, I could've bought tons of candy and be the most popular girl ever. :D So, ano kaya gagawin ko sa mga ito?

Saan na kaya yung lock nito?
  
1 centavo - check out the square one!
  
singles -- literally
  
5 cent pile
  
fives
  
10 cents
  
How did we go from Francisco Balagtas to Pandaca Pygmaea?
  
25 cent pile - i would've been rich in grade school
  
4 of a kind
  
Big butterfly and its mini-me
  
50 cent pile
  
5 centavo from American occupation: Pilipinas in front...
  
...United States in the back! Weird!

Ang ganda naman ng mga coins mo. You should put them in albums and collect them. Ipamana mo sa mga anak mo. It's a good souvenir to have.

i would select the ones still in nice condition, the ones with nice design, then mount them on a board then have it framed nicely with black or beige matting. :) it would make a nice piece of art or decor. :)
