Error money found by a guy recently from an ATM machine at the Penang International Airport. The news that reported by Malaysia local newspaper the star, reported that The legal tender was found stuck among 20 pieces of RM50 notes which was withdrawn by remisier Norhazi Ismail, 45 years old. Bearing the serial number, ‘PP1981485’ on the back, the note had an extra flap on the front left top corner.
“This banknote is legal as it came straight from Maybank. Also the paper quality, serial number, photo of the Agung and watermark are all intact,” he said.
Norhazi, a former bank worker, said this was the second time he had found such a note.
“In 1984, when I was working in the then Southern Bank in Bayan Lepas, I received the old RM100 note which had two faces of the King on it.
Norhazi said he would keep both the ringgit notes as he felt they might be collector’s items one day.
Consider yourself a very lucky person at the end of 2009 Norhazi. Since many collector who dream of having this kind of banknote straight from an ATM machine but have no luck like you. Nowadays, many people will check their money for error before putting it into their wallet. Not just error notes; replacement notes, solid number notes and even a side signature notes. Having this notes is just like having "durian runtuh" or extra money since the price will be going up then the denomination value. For me, an easy money like this is a good new way to attract new collector. The only problem is that most of this paper money will be sale for a higher price without any guide for buyer on the price. KN Boon Book list a price for this kind of banknote (solid number notes) but for me the price is what they sale in their shop. It wasn't a true market price.
Good luck to anyone who is looking for error banknotes, replacement, solid number or even side signature paper money. I will not be hunting for them, less competitor for all of you. This is not a make money solution for me.
