[edit] Coins

Is it correct that all the coins show the flower Vanda Miss Joaquim orchid? For me it looks like there are different flowers/plants on the different coins. -Toshi 6 July 2005 09:14 (UTC)

[edit] Pegged with

Isnt the Singapore Dollar pegged with a basket of currencies and not the brunei dollar? The brunei dollar might be pegged to the Singapore Dollar, but not otherwise. If there are no objections, I will go and change this —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 155.69.5.234 (talk) 09:31, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] S$1 note pictures

I suggest that the pictures of the S$1 note in this article should have the word 'SPECIMEN' on them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Exozito (talk • contribs) 12:54, 14 April 2007

I don't think so, the currency pictures of money from other countries don't have 'SPECIMEN' on them, it just distracts the viewer and makes it hard for the viewer to view the picture. (24.87.52.134 05:37, 1 July 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Is 5 cent coins rarely used?

Are you sure that 5 cent coin is rarely used in circulation? I often seen them in bulk on donation boxes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.6.211.128 (talk • contribs) 10:00, 14 May 2007

It's handed out as change in supermarkets, but practically everything elsewhere is priced in increments of ten cents. Jpatokal 11:57, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 1 cent coin

Is the 1 cent coin still being decurculated and withdrawn? Or is it still being minted and used by the population of Singapore? (24.87.52.134 05:37, 1 July 2007 (UTC))

It's been decirculated several years ago. Jpatokal 11:57, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
No new i cent coins are minted since 2003. They are still in circulation thou, and are expected to die a natural death.--Huaiwei 13:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Let's use exact terms as found in MAS's FAQ: the coins have been discontinued (= new ones are not minted), but not demonetized (= they're still legal tender). Jpatokal 17:06, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you. Saying they are "decirculated" may not be giving readers the correct perception. They will remain legal tender, just like the $5 coins.--Huaiwei 14:26, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] why $5 coins is rarely used but not 1 cent?

$5 coins are only issued on commentive issues and 1 cent is issued both on normal circulation and special issues. Can you ractify the "rarely used" thing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.6.202.137 (talk) 00:01, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is 5 Cent no longer minted?

I thought only 1 cent coin is no longer minted. Why 5 cents coins are considered no longer minted. 5 Cent is still continue to circulate and minted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.7.65.104 (talk) 10:40, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Singaporetwentydollars.JPG

Image:Singaporetwentydollars.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
