Also, it is good that malls have this kind of coin campaign, so we can get Philippine coins back in the trade circulation (hirap ako mag-English besh, sorry).
I have a stash of 5-centavo, 10-centavo and 25-centavo coins at home. At first I hesitated to bring my coins as I thought they would not reach the minimum required amount to be exchanged (mahina ako sa math eh). But after recounting the coins and totalling the value of each, I decided to give it a go.
I first let them know how much I have by providing a mini list. Then I showed them the coins. I have it packed, organized and marked separately already, but of course they will also recount it on their end, which is fine. I gave them the list, the coins and have them check it.
Just a tip though: Make sure that your coins are not rusty or dark in color as they may reject this kind. They returned me a couple of coins.
After counting it and determining the total value, the supermarket staff told me that my coins are worth Php46 (If not for the rusty ones, I might have had Php55, as I previously computed). She left for a while and get the Php46 pesos for me.
