TVMs do not accept these new coins yet. In an advisory on Thursday, the Light Rail Transit (LRT) Line 1 management said the circulation of newly designed P1, P5, and P10 coins are not yet recognized by TVMs. LRT Lines 1 and 2 and the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) Line 3 use the same TVMs as part of the unified ticketing system launched by the then Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC). For the meantime, the LRT-1 management said commuters may purchase single journey tickets and stored value cards through tellers at any station. Commuters may also exchange their newly-designed coins for old ones with any station teller, the transit line said.
