A chain of more than 70 kilometers made up of 25-centavo coins could break the Guinness World Record for the longest line of coins.
The event called, “Barya ng mga Bayani [Coins of Heroes]: The Power of Small Change.” laid out Wednesday more than 3.5 million pieces of coins over 6,000 square meters of space fronting Quirino Grandstand in Manila with the intention of beating the world record of 64 km held by the United States.
According to the Kabayanihan Foundation, the officers’ club of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and the BSP Employees Association, the event has three main objectives:
First, to promote awareness among Filipinos of the importance of coins; second, to start raising funds to help build classrooms for public elementary schools; and lastly to unify Filipinos.
