L'argent

When you give money, or take it out, or receive it. Do you just. Do so without thinking. Ok. You might be thinking. 'Oh no, there goes my money.' or 'Argh, I don't have a five-dollar note. I suppose this ten-dollar one will do.'

But. That's not my point.

My point is. Do you ever look at the note. Closely?

If you do, you'll realise that:

1) There is a light picture of the Island of Singapore in the background of the signature.

2) On the gold Merlion above 'This note is legal tender', the amount of the note is stated. For example, if it were a ten-dollar note, it would be TENDOLLARS.

3) At the back of the note, the one where the pretty pictures are, there will be a floral design in the background, more to the sides, that varies with every different value.

-most interesting-

4) On the bottom half of the big main number, beside the 1st President's face, there are, naturally, different designs for each different note value. Look at them. :)

Of course, I'm referring to the plastic version of the money. Look at the paper ones, and try to find other interesting stuff. :)

It's exactly like Life itself. Do you just let it go by? Or do you try to look at it closely?
