By a Collector

I added more information on the new banknotes because I felt that this article needed to be updated. The new RM10 note is similar to the old Wawasan 2020 RM10 note but it has a lead security feature. The RM5 note is also similar to the Wawasan 2020 RM5 note but it is made of polymer and its watermark has a small picture of the Prime Minister's Office instead of the first king. A.L.

The images of banknotes may need a "specimen" label, and perhaps approval from bank negara (if i'm not mistaken)

[edit] Merger

• It's been suggested that this page be merged with ringgit. My vote is no, since the word ringgit is used locally for currencies listed in Wikipedia under other names, as is explained in ringgit.

• Oppose. It can also refer to the Singapore dollar and Brunei dollar in the Malay language. The article should be made into a disambig page and the image of the Malaysian ringgit should be moved. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 21:01, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose, clearly. Make ringgit a dab page, without pictures. —Nightstallion (?) 13:23, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose. The analogy is the relationship between Dollar and US Dollar. __earth ^(Talk) 08:08, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose All of the above Joe I 04:20, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose due to different meanings. However, references needed for Ringgit. -- SpLoT 04:23, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose due to use of name for different currencies. -- Ouishoebean 07:56, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment it seems quite unanimous. How long do we have to wait to take the tag down? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 14:34, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose per above. Acs4b 07:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of term "Sen"

Is sen derived from the English term cent, or the Japanese sen, or something else? Nik42 05:39, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Which one do you think is the most probable answer? __earth ^(Talk) 12:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
