Singapore Mint Lunar Fair!

It has been my heart's desire to get something for my younger cousins for the Lunar New Year; a keepsake rather than the monetary Angbao.

We thus came down to The Singapore Mint Lunar Fair at Orchard Central, which runs from 1-9 Jan 2011.


Chinese Zodiac Bag Charm, 24K gold plated ($36)

These bag charms are a charmer indeed! Each animal character came with their associating items - red apple for piggy, cheese for rat, wheat for cow, egg for the roaster... cute ;)

But no, i dislike the idea of hard dangling objects for bags..

China Lunar Rabbit 1 kilo 999 Silver Proof Coin ($8,000)

Wow, this palm-sized big coin from China is an eye-opener! What lavishness! Wonder how much will it cost shall it be minted in Gold?

2011 Hongbao Coin Set ($21)

Hehe, i'm just getting the traditional yearly coin set ;)

In mintage of 60,000 pcs, the collection of newly minted 5¢, 10¢, 20¢, 50¢, $1 and scallop-edged $5 coins are packaged in an auspiciousness red packet. Now, let's hope the recipients like them..

Hi,
Do you have an extra set of the 2011 hongbao coin set? My son's born in 2011, and I'd like a set for keepsake. I bought one set for my older son in 2009 and completely forgot about buying the 2011 set till now... and now, it's sold out at Singapore Mint. :(
