Thats a pretty cool coin!. I love Spanish and American era Philippines coinage. I need to score one of those early Spanish Philippines coins.

1897 Alfonso XIII One Peso is one of the most beautiful coins out there😍

I’d love to find a large type Philippine peso! They were struck in the us on Morgan planchets :) Hard coin to find though. Nice pieces you have there

1907-1910 comprises 50% of my collection while 1911-1945 is the other 40% of my collection. 10% of my collection is continental US and European coinage. It's very easy to find 1907-1910 especially the full peso coins. 1940s are primarily 10c-50c, and a lot of these are in great condition. I have a few coins that are from the 1800s but they're harder to come by in any decent condition. There's just something about being those 100+yr old coins that make me gravitate towards them.

You can check out my profile if you want to see my collection.

Btw, how did you take those pics? They're nice.

hm is the value of this? not really in mint condition?

U have a beautiful collection. Yes I would ofc. a fellow collector here. Where do u buy these?

I am curious if there are still around, being kept as memorabilia or stuff

I can also see the resemblance why use the monicker "Mickey Mouse" for satire's sake. During those days, the nature of Mickey Mouse is comical and due to wartime hyperinflation, the Peso is nothing more than a funny money; good for lighting coal.

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know Philippines had a bird series. My Philippines collection has their Presidents/leaders only.

Are those animals/birds native to the Philippines?

They are so beautiful! I have the 50, 100, and 500. Still need to get the 1000

bangis nung half pesos hahahaha.

Awesome and extensive collection! Handed down to you or did you hunt for them, specially those from the pre 60’s?

Sad that new bank note’s doesn’t have our heroes faces.

🐐- 1973-85s

Very cool.

If anyone is curious, BPI at Santo Niño in Cebu has a little musseum with currency from pretty much the early colonial period until our days.

Gusto ko talaga makolekta yung ibang mga commemorative coins pero nakikita ko lang yung 150th. Pati din yun pahirapan mahanap.

Dapat lowest denomination ng coins natin is 1 peso na lang. Sayang lang pera sa pag mint ng less than 1 peso yung value since di naman sila nag cicirculate talaga.

Parang ang hirap naman maghanap yan 1 cent na yn

The way the just say "U.S. currency" sounds like it was just normal US currency.

Since the serial numberes were cancelled by Washington, it couldn't have been pesos, since those could be cancelled wholesale.

The same idea with Hawaii notes and north Africa notes. If the enemy invaded they could take your cash so it was printed slightly different so it could be quickly demonetized.

I like green turtle pic on kwd

you got lucky with the new ₱100 note !!

Using the local currency of the country you are visiting impose lower fees, in this case, 1.58% rather than using PHP outright.

Best practice to choose the LOCAL currency of the country you're in (example HKD in HK). Rates are oftentimes cheaper that way.

OP, have you been using PHP abroad all this time?!

OP this is common knowledge for travellers. As a rule of thumb, you should always use the local currency of the country you are visiting. The PHP amount depicted in the terminal is more expensive than letting BPI/Visa/Mastercard do the conversion for you.
