Banknotes hunting 12.11.11

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!

Bank Note and Coin Hunting 18th August 2010

As soon as we got some cash from small project, a friend and I went coin and banknote hunting at our favorite antique shop at Wisma Merdeka.


I already set my mind of buying a RM100 USA printed Jaafar Hussein, RM50 Commonwealth 1998, RM20 Aziz Taha and some RM1 coins. But I got a feeling I will buy some other notes too.

So the result:

and rm2 running number notes:

Aziz Taha RM10

Aziz Taha Rm5 with cross:

1998 Games:

RM100 Banknotes:

So that will only make me much poorer this month. The RM10 Aziz Taha and RM5 with cross is the one note in my mind from the start. But eventually buy it.


Cheers. and Happy coin & banknotes hunting

Coin Hunting

Went coin and notes hunting today with my 2 friends. At first we went to our normal 'Tamu' Gaya Street. But found out that it is almost impossible to find a parking. Circling for almost an hour looking for parking near gaya street before decided to park at the Wisma Merdeka carpark.

Bought 3 banknotes at a reasonable price at 'Cikgu Chong' place. 3 Notes for RM12. Searched for 1967-1969 coins but sold out already.

Bought two cheap RM1 coin just for collection.

Went for lunch before going to Wisma Merdeka to see if any of the shop got any 'new arrival' notes or coins for sale.

Bought a UNC RM20 Jaafar Hussein note with TG prefix.

Bought another RM20 EF Aziz Taha note with the first TA prefix. Now already got both TA and TE prefix in my collection.

Bough a RM1 UNC Aziz Taha.

That's all for the day hunted things.

It is just 8th of August and already 'pokai' for the month. This hobby is expensive. Should have stick to collecting stamps. Haha.

p/s need to buy the new catalog book by steven tan, it is so expensive here. Anyone from KL can help me buy and send it to me?

Cheers to all.
