Coin Deposit

if u remember, i have this habit of saving the one-dollar coins that i have. 

the last time round i went to deposit the coins was in feb 2011 (all thanks to my blog again!). and now... it's time to harvest again!! 

tada! 2 bags of coins... ok, no more cutie saving banks.. now just dump into plastic bags. haha.

which summed up to be $800+. actually i expected more. 5yrs and only $800 is abit too little. 

and so, off to the machine we went! 

this machine at boon lay mrt is quite old already. we had a hard time depositing the coins cuz it kept getting stuck. and then it was so hot and stuffy at the auto-lobby. so we literally sweated it out while waiting for the machine to take in all the 800 coins. 

yeah! $800 richer. LOL 

and know what? there are specific days and timings if you want to deposit coins at the branch over-the-counter. i think it's every tues and thurs and at some odd timings like 2-4pm like that.. how duh. and there will be a fee if you deposit coins to an adult acc. see the coin deposit fee of $9.60? however, if the coins were deposited to a kid's a/c, the fee will be refunded. oh, and the refund is only applicable to posb kids acc. so, we opened a posb a/c in rayous's name and the coins were deposited to his a/c. thereafter, we will transfer the money to his CDA a/c to earn the 1-to-1 dollar match by government. 

hiak hiak. 

smart, arent we? 

ok, so next round of coin saving is on the way. hopefully dont have to wait for another 5yrs before a $800 is accumulated. 

shall c! 

oh, and also notice that 5yrs ago, the deposit fee for 840 coins was $6.30. now the fee for 800 coins is $9.60. 

ha. best.
