Description:
The Little Red Dot... Passion made possible !!! A one dollar coin represents “The Little Red Dot”, Singaporean's own reference to our diminutive island nation. According to urban legend, the coin, inscribed with an octagon, looks like a "bagua" or ancient Chinese amulet designed to ward off negative energy. For the many locals who carry the coins every day, it offers protection and good luck. The fortuitous rise of the small island state from a mangrove swamp into the global metropolis today was due to more than just luck of course, but rather the result of the dedication, hard work and passion of its people through the years.
