Are US issued Philippine coins still redeemable?

If they are, how can they be redeemed? The official exchange rate was 1 Peso = 50 US cents if I recall correctly.

I'm just asking, I don't actually have anything to be redeemed.

Yes they can. Send all undamaged coins to me for immediate redemption at full face value.

Current exchange rate: $.021 to 1 Peso or 1,000 Pesos to $21.25

The Philippine coins struck during U.S. Administration are now obsolete. But I'll afford you full melt value for the silver coins. If you have any of those pesky copper or nickel Proofs, they're worth 2X melt.

As a follow up question, I'd like to know if I can use a Pine Tree Shilling in a Boston parking meter.

Gimme a couple days, and I'll have one set up over on Tremont Street.



It'll be the one painted DayGlo orange, with "CRO PARKING ONLY" stencilled on it.

You find where you want to park, and I will personally take your Pine tree Shilling in exchange for the time on the parking meter

Give them to that "little old lady" who likes to deposit silver dollars and twenty-dollar gold pieces for face value.

They are redeemable at coin shows, shops and probably the BST..... Cheers, RickO

So far it seems that the real point of my question has been missed. Since those coins were issues of the US government I suspected that an official exchange rate for them would have been established at the time of Philippine independence in July, 1946. The rate would only have applied to coins issued by the US, not to later Philippine government issues. Does anyone know if such an exchange rate ever existed or still exists for the US issued coins?
