sidney Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Wonder how many realized Malaysia has introduced a new series of coins in 2011 ending the long circulation of the previous since 1989. In this series, the 1 sen denomination has been excluded. Below are the coins and it's descriptions. Do Ignore the description "2013 Edition" At this point, I wish to highlight one unique feature of the 50 sen coin. It has a security feature minted along to its design. A latent image of the number " 50" and "Sen" inscribed, visible at an angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Malaysia has been a pretty interesting case. It's rather unusual for most countries to get rid of the dollar coin due to counterfeit concerns and re-introduce the dollar note which in this case is the ringgit. There's effectively only four coins in circulation. Maybe they will re-introduce the ringgit coin a few years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Interesting designs. The security features on the 50 sen are quite interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidney Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 It is interesting to see a security feature on coins. But, does it serve its purpose? Are there any other coins in circulation having this features? it would be interesting to note them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Yes, such security is not unique. Here's a few examples - Japan 500 yen, Russia 10 rubles, Singapore 5 dollars (non circulating). There might be more but it's certainly not unique.
