The history of banknotes in Malaysia reflects the country's rich cultural and economic heritage. Since its independence in 1957, Malaysia has undergone several changes in its currency, going through different designs and denominations that represent its evolution as a nation.
Current banknotes in circulation
The current Malaysian banknotes belong to the fourth series, introduced in 2012. This series, known as "Semangat 60", commemorates the 60th anniversary of the country's independence. The banknotes are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 10, 20, 50 and 100 ringgit, each with designs depicting iconic elements of Malaysian culture and nature. These banknotes have advanced security features, including security threads, watermarks and color-changing inks.
Historic Malaysian banknotes
Prior to the current series, Malaysia had three main series of banknotes. The first series, issued in 1967, featured the portrait of the first Yang di-Pertuan Agong. The second series, introduced in 1982, featured more colorful designs representative of Malaysian diversity. The third series, launched in 1996, was the first to incorporate polymer as a material for the 5 ringgit bill, marking an important milestone in the country's notafilia. Each series has reflected Malaysia's progress and changing values over the decades.
