According to Suara.com, the couple used coins that they had saved for the past three years. Wah, that’s a long time!
They kept their coins in water containers and currency notes in card boxes until they had accumulated a total of RM80,000 which is around 273 million Indonesian rupiah.
Syamsuddin told reporters that he was determined to save up, with most of the savings given by customers in spare change during their purchase at his shop.
“It doesn’t feel like I’ve been saving for three years because I’ve never counted the amount.
“When I saw that the water container used to keep the coins was full, I took it out and realised that the total amounted to hundreds of millions of rupiah,” he said.

The employee at the car dealership assisted the man in calculating the amount of money needed in order to purchase the vehicle.
According to the branch manager, Ariefyanto Arsjad, this is the first time his branch has welcomed a customer who has brought money in water containers to purchase a vehicle.
When the coins were calculated, it appears that Syamsuddin had brought enough money amounting RM79,269, which is around 271 million Indonesian rupiah to purchase his dream car.
This is amazing! Well done, you two!
