I popped by The Singapore Mint’s roadshow at City Square Mall this week to collect my pre-ordered 2018 Year Of The Dog silver coins. 😀 On weekdays, the retail sales seem to be really weak but there was a constant stream of people coming to collect their pre-ordered items. And I think some of the freebies were very quickly fully redeemed!

Quiet on the retail front, brisk business over at pre-order collection:

If money is no issue (like if I’d won the recent $9.7m Toto draw), I’d get a couple of those gold medallions – they are so pretty!

These are the silver coins I bought:

And I like the free red packets as well. Asked the lady at the collection counter for them and she gave me 1 pack. Then told me that if I wanted one more, I could get them at the Redemption counter. 😀 So I did.

5 red ones and 5 gold ones in EACH pack of 10.
