由来
  • 自独立以来，新加坡的银角可分为三个系列。第一系列的银角发行于 1967 年至 1985 年，在设计方面继承了英殖民地的特色；第二系列的银角发行于 1985 年至 2013 年，在设计方面以本地的花卉植物为主；第三系列的银角发行于 2013 年至今，在设计方面以本地著名地标为主。
  • 第一、二系列的银角分为六种：一分钱、五分钱、一毛钱、五毛钱和一块钱。第三系列的银角则废除了一分钱。
  • 由于一分钱面额在本地不常使用，新加坡金融管理局（Monetary Authority of Singapore）于 2002 年 4 月 1 日停止了一分钱银角的分布。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Since Singapore’s independence, coins used in Singapore can be categorised into three series. The first series of coins was issued from 1967 to 1985, which inherited the design characteristics of the British colonies. The second series of coins was issued from 1985 to 2013, and the design was mainly based on local flora and plants. The third series of coins was issued in 2013 and still in use, and the design is primarily based on famous local landmarks.
  • The first and second series consist of six types of coins: one cent, five cents, ten cents, fifty cents and one dollar. The one cent coin is discontinued in the third series of coins.
  • As the one cent denomination is not commonly used locally, the Monetary Authority of Singapore discontinued the issuance of the one cent coin on 1 April 2002.
