Secrets of the Malaysian Ringgit 

Half-Asleep Chris One more features that you didn’t notice, at the tengkolok of the 1st Agong in RM1, RM 5, and RM10 there’s a microprint full name of the Agong , Tuanku Abdul Rahman ibni al-Marhum Tuanku Muhammad.

@Half Asleep Chris, did you ever hear about Brunei'৳s (in circulation) B$ 10000 note? Which is about US$7356 or £5707?

the highest in Southeast Asia outside the Himalayan range

Interesting. In Europe, checks have gone the way of the Dodo decades ago and I can't really remember the security features they had. The Eurocheck did have security features (and way more than US checks had back in the day), just don't ask me any details anymore.

@@TheFeldhamster In America, I do business to business sales and only accept checks or, of course, cash. However they are all established clients and checks can be sketchy if it's a one time transaction

that is a really smart feature

Thanks - very interesting, I never knew that!

I will now say hi to Chris: say hi to Ralph for me and also hi Chris

So basically that makes copying the banknotes harder. An interesting feature!

The feature is used all the time of checks, typically ones from insurance companies.

me too but maybe because its so rare that only few people have them

Ada cume x viral sgt.

As a first time investor i started trading with Mrs Nora with just a thousand bucks my portfolio is worth much more that now within just weeks of trading with her, she is the best.

Wow, amazing to see others who trade with Mrs Nora Hendrix, I'm currently on my 5th trade with her and my portfolio has grown tremendously.

This is not the first time i am hearing of Mrs Nora and her amazing trading skills but i have no idea how to get to her.

Talking about being successful! i know i am blessed because if not i wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as Mrs Nora, she helped me recover all i've lost while trading by myself.

So pleased seeing my broker being talked about on RU-vid.

I thought I've seen everything about this currency from this video, that Mount Kinabalu on the tengkolok is really impressive, I never know about that. About the bird beside the tengkolok, I don't really think its a bird. Just my opinion tho, don't really take my words for it :D

The name of Malaysia’s first king was Tuanku Abdul Rahman (whose picture is on every Malaysian currency note) and not Tunku Abdul Rahman who was the country’s first prime minister. They have similar names.

Very impressive! I'm getting a little jealous that my bank note doesn't have this kind of features.

I don't know if others know this or YK Chew: right below the image of Tuanku, there is a repeated RM1BN written (which stands for Ringgit Malaysia 1 Bank Note). It's a good thing I still have one of Malaysia's bank notes. (Filipino btw)

Im sorry but where is the bird?

Thank you for explaining! I spent the ENTIRE video thinking, Why the hell is the 50 so strange? This really helped clarify! Have a great day!

Was looking for your comment bro, thanks!

another fun fact, the early updated RM50 have a 50th Malaysia independence anniversary logo on it for a while before it become regular circulation.

Ya,I grew up in Malaysia but i never knew about the 60 and 600 ringgit

@@BeefinOut Can you further explain? I have some and would like to see some little things hidden on them!

A lot of checks have that security feature as well. Though it's strange that they only put it on the 50...

@@AndrewHosford it's primarily because our 50 tends to be the one that's counterfeited most often, followed by the 100. The 50 had iterations to the security features (primarily small changes in positioning iirc, it was the early 2010s so my memory of this is kinda hazy) cuz counterfeiting was so prevalent due to lax enforcement back then.

Nah its not

Yes, lots of documents have elements that show up or stand out when copied or scanned.

Indonesian here. Around 20 years ago the 100.000 IDR banknote was polymer, but then reverted back to paper. I still remember the disaster when I left one in my trouser pocket. Washing is no problem, but then came the ironing. It shrunk into a plastic card 1/3 of its original size

yeap, same goes to Malaysia Identification Card. they have the same word ‘SALINAN’ which translated to ‘COPY’ in english #ifimnotmistaken

Why the word 'void' tho? Avoid?

void means ‘not valid’ in english. as in you copy ‘em, it’s like the copied banknotes would show it on the printed version i guess :/

Geek

Hahhaah so true i got scolded all the time for that too

It's weird and interesting how I've never played around with money yet I already understood the value of money when I was in 1 grade. I'm pretty sure it's mostly because how I learn through my friends and the fact that I rarely get pocket money. I'm 15 now, but I only have like 200RM in my life savings without a bank account. My mom "borrows" my money without my consent, it's frustrating really and I really can't get it through with her. Talk about weird middle class.

@@dumbleking5172 same thing, I am not sure how to classify my family financial status, I can say we are middle class or at the bottom end at it,but we still have some luxuries my mum gave to us. But we also lived and have good friends which is technically my family that is in the upper middle class. I can say that they are rich but some people would disagree. I got a wonderful mum who let me do anything I want except stuff she can't afford or wasteful . and I also got red packets from my other families and I got quite alot in bank, my mum sometimes borrow my money but she always ask me first, I hope you and your mum can settle this issue,but being a Malaysian,I would say that it might be abit difficult but I don't even know how to explain why.

@@dumbleking5172 bro, same. My parents “borrow” money from me. Sometimes they just sneak money out of my wallet which I didn’t think of putting in a safe place-I just didn’t expect the ones stealing from me to be my own parents, you know. I’m 18 now and I barely have any money left. I swear I’m the most frugal person ever compared to my peers. I spend max RM2 a day in middle school, and now that I’m living in my uni’s dorm, I spend RM6 a day, RM3 for each meal, two meals a day. I don’t know why I keep trying to save money when in the end, they get taken away from me. When I talk about this to my friends, they think I’m crazy for not wanting to give my parents my money. I don’t mind lending money to my parents but they have to make sure they’re not taking advantage of me to the point I have no more money for my own spending, and they shouldn’t lie in the first place. This is so cruel, I’m still a student, I’m not even earning from anywhere yet 🥺

@@imthecoolest50 Your friends really are something. I know it's not wrong to give/borrow money to your parents but there is a limit to how far that can go. Too much then actions must be taken. you're in uni, an adult (young adult, right?). If you still have this problem with your parents, then you should and must talk it out before they depend _too much_ on you (I know this is rather rude but your parents should've saved some money to use themselves instead of taking from their son, even if they're old, they should've saved money when they could). Be careful on how talk it out, your parents has the high ground, but play your cards right and you might be free. My friends agreed that my mum can be quite a scum for taking my money without consent (I'm not rude here. It's the truth). I even have the morals to never steal money, I would still return the spare change from what my mum lend me, my mum gets very picky about this.

69 BRO

Yeh

EXACTLY!!!!

Lol yeah that what I did lol

Yes i agree

Sameeee

Yes, this is what it is. A lot of official documents have this. An example is my birth certificate, wich instead of void says another word, but that is the same concept. The word becomes black on a copy, and so is by no doubt, a copy. You’d be surprised how many documents have this when it comes to licenses, IDs, court documents, currencies, certificates and all. Documents having void on it are not necessarily invalid for what you use it for. It just means that it is not the original, but a photocopy of the document, wich is still accepted by many organizations, when sent by mail, email, or fax. When you are physically there however, they will usually ask for the real one. For currency however, it is always invalid

@@FlorenceSlugcat i remember scanning my original O lvl cert, and the first thing i saw was the copy had "COPY" all over the scanned version

Very interesting! This must be it.

Ooooh so that's why? Cool

Yerr dooo

It feels old and stuffy. Americans think of England as an old and traditional country, with ourselves being new and modern. But the US is getting up in it's years and more entrenched in its ways of doing things, so we might be taking England's place as the world's grandparent.

Tyler Peterson yeah, even with the slightly newer higher valued notes, they’re all the same color, shape, and have no features for the blind. Just outdated and ugly US notes
