*017 - old currency

So terribly upset. I’ve kept a set of Singapore currency most zealously in a little tin downstairs ever since I was a youngster in primary school. It contained samples of all the ‘special’ notes I’ve managed to find, like the 1976 $1 and $ 5 notes.

Mummy found them and used them because she thought they looked ‘old and dirty’. I don’t think I’ll ever get them back.

Whimsical, I know, but I’ve always been meaning to keep them and pass them on to my little grandchildren ... Relics from the ancient times, blah blah. At least, I think it’s cool to see the different currency a country has had through the decades.

Oh well. I might as well just spend the remaining few, since I’m never going to get my collection back again.

Sigh.

[Edit, the next day]:

Oh my goodness! Mummy's too nice ... I think she felt really bad about using my notes and so she's going back to the shop today to see if she can get them back. -beams-!
