Call your bank branch and ask them to prepare for you

just make a cash withdraw of $5.00 at the bank which you have account with, ask the teller to give you in one cent denomination.

most unlikely. unless one knows the bank mgr personally and ask for a favour. banks have instruction from mas to collect such 1 ct from circulation. mas has stopped production of it, although still legal tender.

Hi, sorry that I didn't mention - have walked into a few bank branches, called the hotlines and even tried money changers... no luck. 1 bank told me they are 'short' of 1 cent, a few just have a few pcs in their counters. Thanks to all who feedback.

Sorry, collected from Singapore Mint (arrange by my client)

The Art In Transit for this station is The Coin Mat by Jane Lee. It consists of a mural consisting of 160,000 one-cent coins embedded in glass.
