It also makes me confuse when receiving the new 5 pesos coins, the size and the color are almost the same, the only difference is the number, the person and the design at the back, but when you are a hurry for sure you will be confused if you received/gived a 1 peso or a 5 pesos coins.

Most of the senior complaint a lot regarding this new 5 pesos coins. They were right that only the younger one can identify the coin. But for them lalo na kung gabi at madilim, they will never know if its a 1 peso or 5 pesos coins.

The only thing we can do is familiarize with the coins and double check the coin .I hope that BSP will do something about it.
