Making money online with a coin and banknotes blog? Is it possible?

One of my friend ask me what is the purpose of maintaining and posting this "My coin and Banknotes Collection" blog?

I always answer them that I post what is in my collection for the purpose of own satisfaction rather than showing off to others. It is like one big catalog for me to check which Item that I once had and the one that II just recently acquired. And the advertisement that you saw in this blog will not be a factor in making me blog more often in order to make money.

Making money online through a banknote and coin collection blog can be done if your audience is a worldwide for example a friend of mine blog : Mr. Lunaticg's Blog.

My blog as at 27/3/2012

Everything is possible if you are really serious into it and put in a good effort in attracting visitors to your blog. Of course a little bit knowledge of SEO(Search engine Optimization) will come in handy in this topic.

Untill then Cheers.

RM1 First Series A/1 992314 - One one collection

I added RM1 A/1 to my one-one collection recently. I am some what amazed by the price of this note. Even though this note is only Almost UNC at best, the price is more than RM300 already. I heard people are willing to pay RM600 for a UNC piece nowadays. As usual the the price will go up when there is demand from collectors. And when demand is higher than the notes availability then the price will sky rocket..

RM1 First Series A/1 992314

So that leaves me B/1, D/1, E/1, F/1 and Q/1 and of course Z/1 to complete my collection. 
Cheers

50 cent 1995 Malaysian coin - Keydate!

One of the scarce coin in the Malaysian Bunga Raya series is the 50 cent 1995. I have based on my experience change 1K of coins from a bank and not finding a piece of this keydate coin. Only about 1,650,423 was minted back in 1995.

 
At the moment I only have 5 in my humble collection and all of it is in VF condition.

Hopefully to find more in the future.

Cheers

1 cent 1970 coin

One of the more scarce coin in Malaysian Parliament series is the 1 cent 1970. For your information the 1 cent coins was demonized in 2007 because of the cost of making a single coin exceed the face value that it carries.

1 cent 1970 collection

The mintage for 1 cent 1970 is 2,535,000 and was mint in Hamburg Mint, Germany. I only have 5 piece of these coin in my collection and all of them are in vf condition only.

Second RM2 ZB added to my collection

I added a second RM2 ZB Ahmad Don replacement note for a couple hundred ringgit recently. Although this is nothing to gloat about since it is only in Good Fine(GF) condition, it is always good to add some rare Malaysian Banknotes in my collection.

 Hopefully I can get a better one in the future.

Cheers.

Malaysian Coin Card collection

I just recently started to buy Malaysian coin cards. The first one is the Malaysia 50th Anniversary (1961-2011) WWF Coin Card and the latest one is the 2002 Malaysia 10th Men's Hockey World Cup coin card. The latter is said to be a bit rare and can fetch up to RM120 in the market. Coin card is interesting because you can read the history of the events on the card and I recommend this to new collectors who are just beginning this hobby.

My humble Malaysia coin card collection

Hopefully can add more in the future if the price is right.

RM2 ZB the most rare Malaysian RM2 notes

One of the most rare replacement in the Malaysian Banknotes is none other than RM2 ZB, Of course there is other rare replacement e.g RM20 UZ, RM50 ZA Ali Abul Side signature but seeing one of these RM2 ZB in UNC condition is very rare.

So for me getting one in Good Fine (GF) condition is enough since the price is expensive.

Rm2 ZB GF condition

So another one on my list will be scratch:

1. RM100 Sa-ratus
2. RM100 4th
3. 50 cents milled edge

6. RM10 Kerbau
7. RM500 complete set
8. RM1 AAH CR
