I think it is worth,because .5cents money will add and add and will form to a 1 peso until to go high amount.. Before,in the old times this amount can buy a lot of stuff..Like rice,foods,drinks,,and etc.. People reject this or throw this amount of money today,but did not think that they can make a lot of amount of this if they will save and save. Even here in our area,if i saw this.5 cents, i keep it and starting to save it..what you think?

Befrind, indeed saving money is very important to us. Because we must always prepare for the rainy days in our life. We never knows when we are in need of money. I do keep my 1 cent and even 5 cents, when i receive them after buying things. I think saving those 1 cent and even the 5 cents are very interesting. Because day by day, you will see that the cents are added up and will surely becoming a dollar. When you keep saving them more and more, you will see those dollars will be turning into much more dollars in return.

Every cents even 1 cent is also important friendy because if we are adding 1+1 means 2, 2+1 means 3 and then we received 1 dollar. Now price is hiking day by day and even for some people no important 1000 also they need more and more.

Fanta, indeed 1 cent is also money. When you add the 1 cent day by day, surely in the end it will fill up your piggy bank. And when you in need of money, it will give you a lending hand as well.

It is worth. As you said, we can make large amount of money by saving and saving 5 cents. I like to put coins into a small box, little by little, it make some money. Saving small amount of money is a good habit. Maybe this habit is so small that it is not worth noticing, but maybe one day it can help you a lot.

Hi Befriendwithme, I will save every single cent. It is a respect to money, and what it represents. I think if we view every cent as important, we will not waste a single cent of our valuable resources. The same concept goes to other resources, such as water, electricity, food, and other things in life. Most of us feel very bad for wasting food, but we may not feel equally bad when we waste water.

Saving .5 cents is worth to collect, because I myself a fan of collecting lower valued coins. I like to save them all and it is my hobby saving coins. I save .5 cents before after for couple of days it grew to 200 pesos and I have to trade this for exchange to 200 peso paper bill to central bank since these coins were made by the central bank in the first place.

Yep... we don't have .5 cent pieces but we have pennies and I save them. If I find one, I pick it up. They add up. Life is made of a myriad of small things and so is money.

We don't have any cents, but we have small amounts of coin. I pick that up every coin I found out on the street and put it up on my purse. I would use when I really need it someday.

I don't know, if you actually save this 5 cent then maybe it's worth. When I was a kid, I could buy a bubble gum with 5 cent , now I can't buy pretty much anything with this amount.

hi there my kababayan!! it's nice to know a filipino here in myLot. how long have you been using this site? earning a lot already? we filipinos value money so much especially those that are not that well off.. a peso or a cent accumulated will become something that has a greater value and spend it with whatever you want. but of course, it requires patience and giving importance to the little value that pennies can give to be able to appreciate their true value. :)

I don't see any hang-ups in saving the five cents. Some establishments accept this cents to save the lives of other people. This cent can be a medium to form a feeding program. You can even try to encourage people to have have fundraising and share the cents for a cause.
