The Story Of One Dollar Coin
-
Taken from another forum:
Here's another thing for you to think about whether you believe it or not.
Please reach into your pocket and search for a one-dollar coin, and take a good look at it. It is round, no doubt, but it also has a unique
Octagonal design - which is an imporant symbol in Chinese Geomancy or feng shui.
This is where the story of this coin begins. On the island of Singapore
lived a very influential man named Lee. He is very particular about feng shui, i.e. man's balance with nature. There is a particular day and also time of day to inaugurate any important event. There is also a particular colour of dress, when it comes to important occasions, and so on. He has a feng shui mentor - a famous monk, a particular Venerable who died recently. Lee would seek the advice of this Venerable, whenever he
had to make an important decision.
The one-dollar coin came into circulation at the time of the MRT construction on the island (check the date if you don't believe me). The story goes that the Venerable had advised Lee that MRT tunnelling work would be bad for the feng shui of the island, its prosperity, etc. Firm however on pushing ahead with the project, Lee asked if there was anything that could be done to circumvent the bad feng shui. "Yes", replied the Venerable, "but it may be impossible to implement".
Said Lee to the Venerable - please speak. The Venerable then said that EVERY household on this island must have or must display a 'pak kwa' or
symbolic octagonal (8-sided) object. Oh no, there would definitely be racial riots. How could Lee force every household to have a 'pak kwa'
then at home?
Hehheh... said the wise Lee - I have an idea. I know how to make
EVERYBODY like to have as many 'pak kwas' as possible and so, our one-dollar coin was born.

.........as the coin is always hidden in pockets/wallets, it's not very potency as pa kuas need to be displayed to be fully potent.
hence, the parking coupon shape is pa kua.

Primary school teacher tell me, secondary school teacher tell me. Know already. True or not don't know. Lee doesn't sound like a religious. Practical man to me.

pa kua needs the trigrams to be fully workable. that's why LKY's plans failed~!!
