Malaysia Coin List

Malaysia's official currency is the Malaysian ringgit (MYR), introduced in 1967 following the country's independence. The Malaysian monetary system has evolved over the years, reflecting the nation's rich history and cultural diversity.

Current currency in circulation

The Malaysian ringgit is divided into 100 sen. Coins in circulation include denominations of 5, 10, 20 and 50 sen, as well as 1 ringgit. Current banknotes belong to the fourth series, issued in 2012, and include denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 ringgit. These banknotes feature modern designs that incorporate elements of Malaysian culture and nature, as well as advanced security features.

Monetary history and highlights

Prior to the ringgit, Malaysia used the Malay and North Borneo dollar, inherited from the British colonial era. An important milestone in Malaysian numismatics was the introduction of the first series of ringgit coins in 1967, featuring motifs of local flora and fauna. In 1993, Malaysia issued its first commemorative gold coin to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Bank Negara Malaysia, marking the beginning of a tradition of special mintages that continues to this day.
