Singapore's Third Series Coins
Singapore's Third Series Coins are released this year on 25 June 2013. I finally managed to collect all the new coins. The new coin designs feature national icons and landmarks such as the Merlion ($1 coin), the Port of Singapore (50 cents coin), the Changi Airport (20 cents coin), the Public Housing (10 cents coin) and the Esplanade (5 cents coin) and all the new coins have a common unifying symbol of the lion head.
It is going to take me quite a while to get used to the new coins. I still prefer the First Series Coins (Marine series) and the Second Series Coins (Floral series) because I personally feel that they represent Singapore a lot better. The flora and marine creatures mean energy and life, much better than the buildings featured on the Third Series coins. Just my two cents worth. No pun intended! Haha. :P

Lucky Pennies
I have been very lucky when I was in the USA. I don't know if it is related to the pennies I have been picking up lol. :P
Since my first day of arrival, I have almost been picking up a penny a day. :) Sometimes right there on the pavement, sometimes in the fitting rooms of stores, sometimes just in the oddest places, like once on the seat of a roller coaster ride lol. Somehow, I tend to find the penny even though I am not looking for it because I would accidentally step on it. It was as if the penny wanted to be found by me haha. :) Don't know why but I would be very happy to find the penny and would always without fail pick it up. :) I have been putting those pennies I found aside. :) It has been an old habit of mine lol. You see, I have always been lucky in finding coins/ picking up coins. So far, the largest amount I have found is a $10 note (ok, that's not a coin lol). But for that one, I donated it to charity. :)
I didn't know a lot about lucky pennies but since young, I always have this belief that if I found a coin, it must be lucky and I will keep it aside until I decided it was time for it to go. Call me strange if you like but it was my belief and it still is lol. While browsing, I found this website about The Lucky Penny. Hmm, so it isn't so strange of me after all to think of found coins as lucky! :)
