Malaya Banknotes Catalog
The history of banknotes in Malaya is a fascinating journey through the economic and cultural evolution of the region. From the first banknotes issued during the colonial era to the current currency, the Malayan ringgit, Malaya's notafilia reflects the political and social changes the country has undergone over the years.
Old Malayan banknotes
The first Malayan banknotes were issued by the Board of Commissioners of Currency of Malaya in 1938. During World War II, the Japanese introduced the Malayan dollar occupation, which was replaced after the war by the Malayan and British Borneo dollar. In 1967, after the formation of Malaysia, the Malayan dollar was introduced, which later became the ringgit.
Current banknotes in circulation
Today, Malaysian ringgit banknotes in circulation include denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 ringgit. The current series of banknotes, introduced in 2012, feature designs that reflect Malaysia's rich biodiversity and economic achievements. An important milestone in Malaysian notafilia was the introduction of polymer banknotes in 2012, starting with the 1 ringgit denomination, to enhance the durability and security features of the currency.
