Thanksgiving Newsletter
We recently mailed out our annual Thanksgiving card/newsletter. In each one, we included as a gift a 5 centavo coin--the only coin currently in circulation in the Philippines to have a hole in the center. We asked everyone to display their coin in a unique way that would remind them of the needs in Bible translation around the World.
Have you thought of a creative way to remember your coin? Let us know!
Oh, and if you just have to know how much your 5 centavos is worth...well...you have to figure that one out on your own. Try to find an online currency coneverter. Just remember that 100 centavos = 1 Peso. Good luck!

Dan, I've been searching high and low for a cone-verter, but haven't found one, much less one that will do the centavos->peso->dollar XLATE.
Can't you make it easy for the lazy Americans and just give us the answer?!?
(Using http://www.xe.com/ucc/, I found 1 Phillipine Peso (PHP -- cool, huh?) is worth 0.0200142 USD (which happens to be exactly what I'm getting in interest on my savings account right now).
Dividing by 100, I see I may be able to quit my job once the mail gets here!

Dan,
We got the card yesterday (13 NOV) with the 5 coins (I guess one is for the cat?).
Our creative use was to give one to each child -- they immediately ate it, so we're using it as a tracer for digestive processing!
Joking -- we didn't give it to them. We put it in the college fund!

Hi Dan and Ellen,
The coins are beautiful, the coins are beautiful. We are going to put one in our advent calendar to remind us to say a special prayer for you guys every day until Christmas, we'll start tomorrow though...a bit behind the 8 ball over here! Afterwards, I am making a Jesus bracelet for the boys with a coin at each end to remind them of what Christ has led you to do. Love you all, Da gang. :)
