"Seeing this made me sad, I’d been collecting since I was 10years, had a break-in my house some years back and they took it all. I think it’s cause I kept it with foreign currencies I’d collected. If you’re serious about giving it out I’m very interested. I’ve started rebuilding."

"That 1 naira and 50 Kobo are the real MVPs... Keep them well and you could rack something decent someday from an antique collector."
Man breaks his piggy bank of 2 years over CBN's directive
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man had broken his piggy bank of two years to beat CBN's directive.
In a video shared via his account, he expressed his shock as he opened the box to find plenty rolls of N1,000 notes.
He exclaimed happily in the video and advised netizens to learn how to save so they can also smile and rejoice like him. He said in part:
"I started saving this money on the 19th of January 2021. If not for CBN that said they want to change the money, I would have saved it for years. Wow! Jesus is wonderful. Can you see? Saving is a culture. You have to discipline yourself."
