Old money pics

[afuna]

Finally got around to scanning in/tagging/annotating the old bills we found late last year.

lady_angelina, especially, may want to see the old money pics.

I am particularly proud of this one of a five-peso bill which I annotated the hEll out of ;-)

Waaah. I miss the five- and ten-peso bills! Life was so much lighter when those were around. Plus, it made a body feel rich to have all those bills in the wallet.

:)

On the other hand - the weight of coins in my bag is a great incentive for transferring them out of my change purse and into my change bottle (a piggy shaped bottle that used to hold honey from Jeju/Cheju, South Korea). At then end of the month, I usually have about 900-1000 pesos to deposit in my savings account!

There are still 10-peso bills! Or aren't they valid anymore? I miss the 5-peso ones. That was my daily allowance as a kid (5 pesos a day, crisp new bills, mmmm).

And wow! I think I get about 200 a month, if I'm really lucky. 900-1000 is an unexpected windfall!

I believe they're still valid. :) You just don't see them much around anymore... The 10-peso coins have pretty much replaced them.
