Bookends Bookends occur when the same sequence of digits can be found at both ends of the serial number. For example, in the serial number 52194521, "521" is the sequence of digits occuring at both the beginning and end of the number and are called "bookends." Serial numbers 620 43 620 and 14555514 are bookend notes as is the example shown below (20516320). - via ebay Oh u can see the above banknotes here . I have collected this kind of money but I just recently knew the correct term to categories these kind of notes. Cheers.

I would like to wish everyone especially my readers celebrating a Happy Christmas and a Great New Year 2012 ahead. Hopefully you will have what you had wished for. Already have your new year resolution in mind? I did. I want to complete and upgrade my Malaysian Banknotes collection in the year 2012. Cheers everyone!

I am suppose to do this banknotes hunting on the auspicious day of 11.11.11 but due to work commitment I only have time to go out today. I went to Wisma Merdeka to look into Malaysian banknotes that I might be interested in. One note that caught my attention is RM100 4th Aziz Taha but the price is RM1.8k, if the price is around RM1.1k to 1.5k maybe I can make an offer, which I did and was kindly decline. So I ended buying these notes: The RM5 blindman is the prefix NA,NB,NC,ND and the Aziz Taha is prefix PE 3 running numbers. While the RM100s is in EF-AUNC condition, the RM50 is VF and I got it for a little above face value. Can anyone take a guess of what the price of ALL the item in the picture above? Take a guess no harm done and maybe a prize if u got it absolutely right. Hahahaha Cheers and happy school holidays!

Personally I like the RM20 design and color, maybe I am biased because brown or earth color is my favorite color too. This RM20 note bearing the signature of Governor Jaffar Hussein with the first prefix TF is harder to find compared to TG prefix. So getting one for good price is always a catch for me. Cheers and happy collecting!

Although it is only in VF condition (that is my based on my newbie opinion), this note is the replacement note for 4th series Malaysian RM10 banknotes. I have found EF piece selling for around RM350-RM450 and UNC going for as high as RM650. This note is for sale here: X/1 RM10 4th Series VF Cheers.

I found this rather interesting piece of RM1 with the prefix ADD 9797979. This find is what make this hobby interesting. While others only view this piece valued at RM1, we as collectors accept it is more valuable than it's face value. Cheers.

I acquire this note not long ago, the condition might be at best VF but what I like about this note is the fact that it's prefix is A/1. And I know there is some collector who dig anything with A/1 Prefix. So this is collectable for any acceptable condition. Obverse : Reverse: Oh ya, the above note is for sale here at my facebook sales page. Cheers.

Since I found a circulated but still in good very condition e xtra dot 50 cent 1979 about 2 weeks ago, I was very interested in adding more. I make a simple research about extra dots coin particularly Malaysian coins. I don't have the 5 cent 1982 extra dot yet. The list of extra dot coins in the Malaysian Parliment First Series are: 5 cent 1982 Extra dot(On Parliment House) - Unc - RM150 image source : slcollectors 50 cent 1979 Extra dot(On the Ground Building) - Unc - RM160 50 cent 1988 Extra dot (On Parliment House) - Unc - RM60 So if you have these coins in your collection, please take a closer look if there is an extra dot. Don't get it wrong though, not all of these coin on the above year got extra dot, that's why it is valued more. Cheers.

New Malaysia Coins The designs of the third series of Malaysian coins draw its inspiration from distinctive elements that define Malaysian culture and heritage. The theme, 'Distinctively Malaysia', features motifs from traditional crafts and our flora and fauna. The coins reflect the diversity and richness of Malaysia's national identity. Common Features On the obverse, each denomination features a different motif, 14 dots representing the 13 states and the Federal Territory and (with exception in the case of the 50 sen coin) five horizontal lines representing the five principles of the 'Rukun Negara' (national pillars). On the reverse, the new series of coins feature the national flower Rosa-sinensis hibiscus (known as the 'Bunga Raya'), numerals indicating the year of minting, the face value of the coin and the words 'BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA'.

I was asked by a friend of mine that is beginning to take an interest in collecting Malaysian coins on which coin is worth more than the others. So here is what I told him to look for: 1971 10 cent coin UNC 1 cent 1970 (Mintage: 2.3 Million) 5 cent 1971 5 cent 1977 10 cent 1971 (Mintage: 32K, UNC/BU is around RM240-RM290) 10 cent 1994 10 cent 2003 20 cent 1970 (Mintage: 1.0 Million) 20 cent 1971 (Mintage: 9.9 Million) 20 cent 1994 (Mintage: 2.6 Million) 50 cent 1967 50 cent 1968 50 cent 1969 (Mintage: 2.0 Million) 50 cent 1995 (Mintage: 1.6 Million) Note: Parliament Series (1967-1988), Bunga Raya Series (1989-2011) The mintage above was taken from Peter Eu's Malaysia Coins & Banknotes 2010 reference book. If you have or found any of these coins, it is worth keeping it. Maybe it is time for you to break that old piggy bank and start searching! Good luck. Maybe you can find a circulated 1971 10 cent just like me . Cheers.

Numismatics is the science, study or collection of coins, medals, tokens, banknotes and other similar objects. Believed to be the oldest hobby in the world, people have been collecting coins for as long as coins have been known to exist. The Roman Emperors are known to have collected coins from the Greek Empire, more than two thousand years ago. Money, in the form of coins, has been used since the seventh century B.C. The words money and mint are derived from the name of the Roman Goddess Juno Moneta , in whose temple the Romans built a workshop for making coins. From that time, it became common usage to call places where coins were made ' Moneta '. For some, coin collecting is a hobby, for others a driving passion and for yet more, a rewarding investment avenue. For all of them, coin collecting is a challenging and satisfying pastime, and one in which anyone can be involved, no matter how big or small the budget. There are many different reasons why people choose t

Since we are celebrating a double celebration today, I would like to wish "Selamat Hari Merdeka 2011" and also "Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri" to all my Malaysian readers and friends. Below is the video during Merdeka day 1957 in color. Enjoy! I hope all you will have a joyous occasion and more happy memories this time. Cheers.

Hai, Selamat berpuasa and happy holidays. This type of coin is something that I am very happy to find because of the year 1979( the year that I was born) and also because it doesn't cost a thing. I found it when receiving my change from Giant Superstore. The dot is so small it can be seen from the pictures above but it is there i am sure. Some seller are selling it for RM15, RM20, RM30 and some are even selling RM80 for an UNC piece. So to be able to found one is just nice. :) Happy Hari Raya celebration to all my numis friend! Where is my kuih raya?

While others are already having multiple sets of this 2011 Malaysian coins, I just managed to complete mine with the addition of the 50 cent. Some say the 50 cent 2011 can/will be a bit scarce because next year we will be using a new coin series already. Cheers.

Here is the story: I was scrambling my pocket for loose change to pay my RM6.10 bill (mihun goreng seafood + milo kosong) when I stumbled upon this 10 cent Malaysian parliment coin. Considering it was a parliament I decided not to give it to the waiter, a friend of mine volunteer to help me using a bunga raya coin (that what a friend is for). Only after paying it that I realized that the 10 cent parliament I was holding is from 1971. I immediately burst into laughter since it is very hard to find it in any condition and what more I am that close from using it. The coin is in good condition without any dent or deep scratch but it is in dark color due to stains. I am not so sure if cleaning the coin is a good idea. Anyone can help? Well, this find surely makes my day. I am smiling  from work to home. :) Cheers

I bought my first Uncut banknotes recently for a very reasonable price. It is RM5 Ali Abul with AA Prefix 3 in 1 uncut without folder. I never bought any uncut banknotes until now because I thought it is hard to keep uncut compared to normal notes where you can just put it in the banknotes album. So what do you think about uncut notes? Do you like to keep them?  Cheers.

I have one stack of RM1 Malaysian banknotes. This is nothing to gloat about but I am just running out of idea on what to blog so just having fun of asking you guys out there what is so special about this stack of RM1 notes? You can also follow the Facebook comments here:  Link The winner who guess correctly will receive a mystery gift from me. Cheers.

I found this RM10 Zeti sign missing security thread in circulation yesterday and I was wondering if this note has been tempered with or is in original shape. I found out this kind of note is not listed in Peter Eu reference book. I went to an antique shop and found that a seller is selling RM180 for an UNC piece. Maybe some of the more senior and experienced collector can give me some information. Cheers and thank you for you comments! Follow the discussion here. Facebook Link

Bank Negara Malaysia is pleased to announce that a new series design of Malaysian banknotes and coins will be issued for circulation in early 2012, an exercise that is undertaken periodically every twelve years. The theme of the design of the new currency series will include features that are distinctively Malaysia. It will also have enhanced security elements in line with the latest advancements in technology for currency notes. The new fourth series design of banknotes will be featured in the denomination of RM1, RM5, RM10, RM20 and RM100. The current design of the RM50 banknote already in circulation since December 2007 to commemorate Malaysia’s 50th Anniversary of Independence will continue to remain in circulation. The new design coins are the third in the series for the denominations of 5 sen, 10 sen, 20 sen and 50 sen. This new series of banknotes and coins will co-circulate with the existing series until the latter are gradually withdrawn from circulation. In p

This is the latest replacement note RM1 ZAB Zeti Aziz, 10 running number in of course UNC condition. Hopefully this note value will rise up just like ZAA replacement note. Cheers.

This is my humble RM1 Malaysian Banknotes collection. Some of the notes got stain which is I believe due to foxing or maybe because of the plastic cover. The note that I most proud of is of course the RM1 CR Ali Abu Hassan although it is only in About EF condition. RM1 First Series RM2 Second Series RM1 Third Series RM1 Fourth Series RM1 5th Series TDLR RM1 5th Series Bradbury Wilkinson RM1 Sixth TDLR RM1 10th Series Ali Abul RM1 11th Series

Although my collection consist mainly of VF and EF conditioned banknotes, I am still satisfied to finally put together at least one of the notes from 1st to 12th series. If luck and money permits, maybe I can slowly upgrade the condition to UNC in the future. plus another 2 piece of RM50: It has been a long journey to complete the series. But the joy and satisfaction that comes with it is what makes this hobby interesting. Some hardcore collector will find first prefix, last prefix in the series but for me that is a long way to go because it is not cheap. So, hopefully I will complete my RM100 collection before CNY next year. Cheers.
