For the uninitiated, The Singapore Mint started in 1968 to produce coin currency for the then newly-independent Singapore. Today, it has expanded its services to create currency-related gifts and lifestyle collectibles like figurines and medallions. Its new Sanrio x The Singapore Mint Lunar Collection has coins, red packets and keychains, amongst other things, themed after fan-favourite characters Hello Kitty, My Melody and Little Twin Stars.
