Do you wish to go back to the past
Sometimes, do you wish you can go back to the past and do something that you like. Looking at coin and banknote will make me wish something like that.If can, I wish I can go back 50 years at 1958 only for one day should be enough. Why? Certainly because I want to go back and keep as many banknote and coin during that time. No need to keep $1, $5 or even $50 denominations.
This 1 sen coin also enough to make me happy millionaire today. This brilliant uncirculated 1 sen coin is priced at $45 Malaysia Ringgit. I just need around 25,000 pieces of this coin which been mintaged for 10,500,000. It will only cost me $250 Malaysia Ringgit. Do you wish to go back to the past now?

Some seller put a million ringgit price for 1971 coin but is it really a pot luck?Many people who wasn't acoin collector doesn't know the real story of 1971 coin.

The real lucky pot is the 10cent domination. On the obverse is parliament house on a background of a moon crescent that represent Islam as the official religion in Malaysia. The fourteen pointed star represent the 13 states and the federal territory in Malaysia. On the reverse are the denomination of the coin, the year it was minted and on the sides are stylised design of the national flower, the hibiscus flower.

Andai Kau Tau Rasaku Selama Ini
Apakah kau akan menyayangiku
Begitu dalam rasa ini untukmu
Bibirku berat untuk mengucap itu
walau sakit jawabmu untukku
karna kau tidak cinta aku
hidup sekali
hidup adalah pilihan
mungkinkah kau akan memilihku
hidup adalah anugerah
apakah kau anugerahkan untukku
hidup adalah berkah
salahkah bila kau berikan itu untukku
hidup adalah musibah
akankah musibah slalu kau berikan untukku
hidup adalah rasa
bukankah semua harus dirasakan
hidup adalah masalah
kenapa harus itu untukku
cinta adalah hidup
atas dasar apa smua ini tercipta untukku kalau bukan untuk itu
hidup adalah awal menuju kematian
Do you have $10 ringgit denomination right now
Do you have Malaysia $10 ringgit denomination with you right now? Please look at the upper left corner of the banknote. Do you see two dots for that banknote? Do you know what that dot for?
The dot is the Braille feature for the disabled people. The round Braille markings feature a layer of tactile ink printed in intaglio that can be felt by touching. This feature been implemented in
Malaysia currency starting from the 5th series banknote. Malaysia banknotes before that don’t have this kind of feature. You can read more from bank negara website:
http://www.bnm.gov.my/index.php?ch=23&pg=452&ac=22&security=1
I don't really know about the braille code but is something wrong with all the codes in Malaysia banknotes denomination? If you can see up here, this is a code for the 5th series $50 ringgit denomination. It got 5 dot and current $50 denomination only got 2 dot.
You can read more about braille here:
http://www.afb.org/braillebug/braille_deciphering.asp
Am I reading a wrong code or got different braille code for banknotes? Why banknotes that been issued in 1981 got different code? Is any of you collector out there know about this?

Malaysia banknotes: The most beautiful $5 ringgit
Malaysia don't have many design of banknote or coin. From 1967 until today, Malaysia $5 ringgit banknote only have 4 different design. Which one do you think the most beautiful $5 ringgit design?For me Malaysia most beautiful $5 Paper money is the design of 5th series $5 ringgit banknote. It started been circulated on 16 january 1984 until 1985. It signed by Malaysia central bank governor Tan Sri Abdul Aziz bin Haji Taha. The short period of circulation is because it have some religious issue and people asked to stop the circulation. Is this true?

Top 5 Human Anomalies
It is uncommon to see people with odd genetic conditions or should I say inhuman features. Before, people that are struck with rare genetic abnormalities are often showcased in freak shows while some suffer from a lifetime curse being an outcast. Also, people with such atrocities are often subjects for medical experimentation, wherein doctors will promise them a better life where in truth, they are treated as specimens just to satisfy their curiosity.
