Synopsis:

The story follows the journey of a newly minted one-peso coin as it travels from the minting factory into the hands of different people. Along the way, it witnesses many places and everyday moments—markets, oceans, jeepneys, churches, fiestas, and even a quiet savings jar. As the coin changes owners, it slowly loses its shine but gains stories and meaning. This is a tale not just about money, but about movement, purpose, and the lives it touches along the way.

FinLit Concepts:
spending, saving, coin deposit machine
