Singapore's Lunar New Year coin series has been issued annually since 1992, with each release timed to coincide with the relevant zodiac year under the traditional Chinese calendar. The Tiger year fell on February 14, 2010 — a coincidence with Valentine's Day that generated unusual media attention for what is otherwise a quietly collectible series.
