Its been almost a year since my last trip out of Singapore. Clearing out my drawers for Chinese new year, I found a stash of foreign currencies. This is because I have a habit of keeping extra currencies after trips in the hope of another trip when I can use it! Sometimes when family or friends travel, I provide an exchange service or make a gift of spending money in these currencies.
Heres a short list of what’s in stock…
- Hong Kong dollar coins
- Chinese renminbi
- Aussie dollars
- Japan yen
- Korean won
- Indian rupees
- Nepali rupee
- Pounds Sterling
- Euro dollar
- US dollar
- Malaysian ringgit
There would be a few more if I’d not given them away – Indonesian rupiah, Vietnamese dong, Israeli shekels, Thai baht.
So until my next trip or trips, or until someone i know travels, this stash stays with me.

I miss the travel too!

My biggest drawback from this is when currencies “expire” and I lose the value altogether. I miss travelling too but will try to change out currencies back to home currency to avoid wasting my dollars or spend it all in country I visit.

Haha. I lost money when the recent £ changed out and I could not exhange it. Lesson learnt.
