Singapore New Coins

Woke up to an interesting news!

From CNA.com

"The current Second Series coins were first introduced in 1985 and featured local plants and flowers, depicting Singapore as a garden city. 

But they'll soon make way for the Third Series featuring five of Singapore's national icons and landmarks - the Merlion, Port of Singapore, Changi Airport, Public Housing and the Esplanade."

I am not sure how you feel about it but on this pic it looks kinda weird. Weak and thin but guess what? the dollar is still in hexagon! 

Remember the $1 Myth? 

"Your $1 Coin"
The one-dollar coin came into circulation at the time of the MRT construction on the island.  Reverend Hong was an expert at feng shui and after taking lots of readings he said that the proposed constellation of MRTs tunnels and the huge amount of metal being driven deep into the Singapore bed rock would sever Singapore's Dragon Vein which is bad, bad, bad for the nation.   Reverend Hong then offered the following advice: "If you want to continue with project, then u must give every Singaporean household – Indian, Malay, Eurasian, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim – every single one of them a Chinese Ba Gua. Or else Singapore will sink."

How can every household own a Chinese Ba Gua without touching the sensitivity of race?  Well, an ingenious idea then struck, and hence our $1 coin is born!  Another similar theory is also used on our Road Tax: If you recall, it used to be round and now,
it's octagonal and it is definitely displayed. - zilintan.wordpress.com

So I guess the most irritated party would be all of the vending machine, lockers and all I guess.
