On 28 March 2010, Malaysia Numismatic Society (MNS) held an annual General Meeting at Jabatan Muzium Malaysia, Malaysia National Museum, Kuala Lumpur. The meeting not held in the usual place since there is a coffin exhibition in that hall. The short meeting start at 9.30 am with a short speech by their president Mr. Thenakaran Nadarajah and introduction of the committee member (you can view it in my video). There is less crowd then what I have seen 3 years ago.

There are few bourse table operating that days (10 table). Most people come that day visiting that bourse table searching for something that can be add up to their collection and waiting for the auction by MNS (auction 143). I am arriving a bit late that day (9.20am) with almost all the good items already been grab by people who came earlier then me. I saw one seller is selling his CR prefix RM1 Ali Abul signature at RM1150 without no one grabbing that piece. For you information, a CR prefix banknote will be on auction that day for a RM1650 reserve price. Look like the price is not appealing enough for people to buy them.

The bourse tables are for member and collector to buy and sell as all sorts of accessories, coins and banknotes. Its a bit hard for me to take picture of the bourse table since the tables always crowd with a little space to move around. All my close up picture of what people are selling that day not in very good condition to show it in this blog. Most of the seller of the bourse table is a regular at the Amcorp Mall flea market. Only around 100 people came that day and only half stay for the auction that start at 10.30am.
