How to handle a coin or a banknote without dirtying it ??

Image
Ever wonder how you could transport or move your uncirculated banknote or coin and avoid direct finger contact ?? Well this is how, you can do so using a flat mouth tweezer. It is easy, just pick them up using this tweezer and move them carefully into the plastic sheet. You can repeat the same method for coins too.  Just don't press the tweezer too hard on the banknote or not it will leave a damage mark on it. I would want to recommend you all to use this tweezer because it perfectly grip the banknote and coin very well. This tweezer comes with a plastic protection for the tip too.

Chinese New Year for 2020 was over in a few days ago and here is a collectible coin from Singapore Mint. Costing at 25 Singapore Dollars (25 SGD) and it is quite affordable to many people.  This year is the year of the rat, which is the first animal in the zodiac list.  There is a total of 50000 mintage for this coin and it is common to have them. Thus the value won't fetch much in the years to come.

Here is a 5$ Singapore commemorative rat coin which came out on sale in middle of January this year.  This coin is made from 999 pure silver and it is also good collector item. Priced at 128 Singapore dollars, it is quite valueable for those coin collector out there.  The mintage is 12000 pieces and it is quite less common compared to the 2$ nickel zinc plated rat coin. Besides that, it is also comes with a certificate of authenticity with the serial number printed on it. How cool is that ?? The shinny bright surface of the coin gets my attention the most about it. Here is the back of the coin. The box looks super luxury too !!  Very nice design too !!
