A reader told me that he will be going to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah for a vacation and want to know where he can find coin dealer in Kota Kinabalu. Wisma Merdeka is the best place if you want to find coin dealer. At the moments, there are three coin dealers shop in there. Most of them sell antiques, chinaware, banknotes, coins and stamps. I already been dealing with some of them for over 5 years now. Last time, there are at least five dealer shops but I am not sure what happen to them. If you're looking for Sarawak and Sabah (North Borneo) collection, this is the best place to find but you need to asked them. Some of them will not display their nice uncirculated collection for sell.
How can you find this coin dealers? First, you need to find Wisma Merdeka. Wisma Merdeka is at jalan Tun Razak. You can find Hyatt Regency Kinabalu Hotel and Capital Hotel near Wisma Merdeka. If you're coming from Likas using Tun Fuad Stephen street, you can see the building at your right, beside Kinabalu college. In Wisma Merdeka, you need to look for Familia Store (at the end of the building, on first and second floor). You need to go up on second floor and look for Total stationery shop. All the coin dealer shops are around that stationery shop.

If any of you knew any other place in Sabah where we can find a coin dealers, please share here. I found some small antique shops in Kota Kinabalu before but they're not focusing on banknote and coins like what you can find at this shops in Wisma Merdeka. The small shops price are higher then Market price and not worth sharing about them here.
