Quite some time ago, Mama has started giving Gwendolyn her excess $1 coins for her to put inside her piggy bank, teaching her how to save money! Recently, after she's learnt more about money and value, additions and subtractions, Papa and Mama have added some fun element into the saving game! Once Lyn Lyn has 10 $1 coins, she may ask Papa to exchange for a $10 note, with 5 $10 notes, she can exchange for a $50 note! During this process, Lyn Lyn managed to feed her piggy and her ducky really really full...and to the extent that Papa and Mama think that it may be a good idea to start her to bank in the money...finally, in a boring afternoon, all of us excitedly "killed" the piggy (since there's no opening, Papa and Lyn Lyn had to literally cut it up in order to take out the coins)!
Geraldine, without knowing much what was going on, heard the noise and joined in the fun...Whilst Lyn Lyn was trying hard to count the $1 in 10s, recording the number of 10s which she's counted, with Mama auditing her work, Geraldine grabbed some of them and dumped them into the ones which Lyn Lyn has already counted...Papa was enrolled to keep her busy, so as not to mess up the whole counting process! Unbelievably, the little piggy was actually quite FAT...it had $240 worth of $1 coins! Lyn Lyn packed them up nicely into a ziplock bag and we've decided to work on the ducky as well...
Ducky is so much bigger than piggy...Papa was making a wild guess that it could hold up to $500 worth of $1...unexpectedly, it had $600 worth of $1, though it's not even at full capacity! Lyn Lyn's really a rich gal...$840 worth of $1 coins...how heavy was that? Papa put the 2 bags of $1 coins into the Dora backpack...it weighed a hefty 5.5kg...my goodness...that was half of Geraldine!
