Wang Kertas Baru Spesel
I managed to get a set of the RM50 banknote issued by Bank Negara Malaysia to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Malaysia’s Independence Day. It comes complete with special packaging/covers and only 20,000 sets are up for sale to members of the public. Nice or not?
And I did some ‘koreking’ in my drawers and found these old coins (in denominations of RM25, RM5 and RM1) which were passed down to me by my dear momma-in-law many, many years ago. Remember seeing them before? They are more than 30 years old...older than some of my friends here.

Hi Narrowband,
The coins are very much older than you. I will keep them long enough and hope it appreciates in value. :)

Hi Stay-At-Home Mum,
We will wait for the new issue on January 30 2008 when the banks will be crowded with people coming in to change for fresh, crisp notes for angpows.
