This year I am teaching and working in the office. My office work mostly includes helping in the accounting office. Elena our accountant went on a vacation to visit family so I was left to man the ship. No sweet! I realize I need to make a deposit which included lots of change from the bake sale the PTF had just put on. So I head to the bank with all the coins. I ask the teller if I need to roll the coins or if she has a machine that can count them. She looks at me puzzled and I realize that “rolling coins” probably is confusing. I give her the check deposits and decide to finish with the cash. She counts the bills and then is puzzled why the deposit ticket does not add her count. “It’s because of the coins. You have got to add the coins to the deposit.” She whispers to her neighbor. “No coins today. Only Tuesday Thursday” she says. Really! I can only deposit coins on Tuesday s and Thursdays? Come to find out they also charge you for depositing coins. There’s a fee to process them. Why bother?! Get rid of the coins if the money is no good.
So take note. Don’t try to deposit coins in Singapore! Who knew?

Yeah, I ran into that too. Just raise the prices at the bake sale next time so minimum price is S$2! :)
