Coins, Coins, No More Confusing Coins?


Mr. & Ms. Vol. 20 No. 37, January 21, 1997

The Philippines has recently introduced new coins in circulation. This article, “Coins, Coins, No More Confusing Coins?” that I wrote 21 years ago may serve as a timely backgrounder. It was written during the time – post Cory Aquino regime – when to many different coins were in circulation, and when the buying value of the coins was at its worst.

“When a man is too lazy to repair his roof, it will leak, and the house will fall in. Feasting makes you happy and wine cheers you up, but you can’t have either without money.” – Ecclesiastes 10:18-19, The Good News Bible in Today’s English Version.
