SINGAPORE – The public can go to any of 142 participating bank branches from Dec 4 to 31 for LKY100 coins, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said on Nov 22.

This includes those who did not apply online earlier, or want more of the coins.

More than 700,000 coins are available for this walk-in exchange for $10 a coin, said MAS.

The gold-coloured $10 coin, minted in aluminium bronze, commemorates the 100th birth anniversary of Singapore’s founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew, and is legal tender.

One side of the coin features a portrait of Mr Lee, the Marina Barrage and the Raffles Place financial district skyline. The other side has the Singapore coat of arms and a dual latent image that shows Mr Lee’s birth year, 1923, when viewed from one angle, and his 100th birth anniversary, 2023, when viewed from another angle.

The MAS said previously that it had minted four million LKY100 coins, and only those people who had successfully applied for them could collect the coins from Sept 4.

Members of the public should take along their NRICs, passports or work passes for the walk-in exchange from Dec 4.

MAS said there is no limit to the number of coins that can be exchanged, subject to stock availability at the bank branches.

Those who applied earlier, but have not collected the coins, are reminded to do so by Dec 3, it added.
