FIL: Barya o perang metal na may maliit na halaga.
EN: coins; loose change
The collective sound of your financial struggles clinking in your pocket. It's what you use to pay for jeepney fare ('Bayad po!'), what you hunt for when the 'taho' vendor passes by, and what mysteriously disappears from your coin bank. Also known as 'barya'.
From Spanish 'sencillo' (simple, easy), which came to mean small change.
Interchangeable with 'barya'.
