Happy New Year 2011

Happy New year 2011 to everyone. Wish everyone will achieve what they target for 2010 and a prosperous year in 2011. How about your 2010 new year resolution? Do you achieve it? One of my last year resolution is try to collect Malaysia gold coin. At first, I thought it will be hard to find any of the old coins and add it in my collection. I still can find cheap Malaysia gold commemorative with idea from few friends who has been in gold collecting for a very long time. Another one of my last year resolution is to collect more Straits Settlements paper money. I think this year, almost half of my collection budget go to Straits Settlements paper money.

Year 2011

Last year, when I go to Amcorp Mall Flea Market, I already saw young kids buying notes and coins for a collections. Most of them buying a cheap notes but its a good start. At least 2010 I can see youngster involved in this hobby of kings. Nowadays, its not cheap for young kids to start this hobby. Many of them prefer stamp collecting as a hobby because it is cheaper. While most of kids these days prefer playing with their portable electronic games.

For 2010, I also saw many Malaysia coin and Banknotes blogger start their new blog. I will try to update my Malaysia coin blog list later. I also saw some Singaporean blogger start to commenting in my blog. Thanks for the visit and comment to all my reader. Here is some of the blogs who are frequent commentator in this blog:
  1. A Fistful of Ringgit
  2. coinandbanknotes.blogspot
  3. why collect
  4. umihoney
  5. Sumandak Kinabalu
  6. mgmsabrinumismatik
  7. akucintamimi.blogspot
Sorry If i don't comment back in everyone blog. Please comment in this post if you think I missed any of my frequent commentator. Some of bloggers asked me if I can teach you on how to blog. Maybe we can arrange a meeting one day and I will help you. If you're interested just email me your phone number, we will set the time and place later.

To anyone who are still new in my blog. This blog already had over 550 articles with over 200 of them written by me. Most of the other article come from News website. All of my article basely about Malaysia coin and currency or numismatic news in Malaysia. You need to type what you're searching for in this blog search button since browsing this blog by month views will take you more time to find what you're looking for. Like what I always tell everyone, I am not an expert, just a collector like you who like to share what I know.

What do I looking for in 2011? I think 2011 target will be more on my personal life rather then my collections. As you can see in the recent months, I don't have time to write my article because I am busy with my personal life and works. I also had many unfinished article for 2010, maybe will try to publish them in 2011. Don't worry, even if I am busy, I will still try to keep this blog keep on going for another year.

Happy New Year 2011!

A suggestion for BNM Commemorative coin

These are some of my suggestion to Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) for commemorative coin that they should minted in the future. Why do I making this suggestion? Mostly because BNM produce low commemorative sets of design every year (only 3 this year, correct me if I am wrong). Some of their design is not even appealing to collectors. For me, some of the anniversary that they commemorate are not worth to collect. 125th Anniversary of Jabatan Ukur dan Pemetaan Malaysia (JUPEM) for example, its sound nice to educate public about the department contribution to Malaysia. But is it worth to put it on coins?


Here are some of my suggestion for BNM. I welcome everyone to add a suggestion of your own and wish any of the BNM design department people read this and consider them in our future collection:

1. 50th years of Zoo Negara.

Zoo Negara (literally National Zoo in Malay) will be 50 years old on 14 November 2013. It is the oldest zoo in this country and already visited by millions of Malaysian and tourist in this country. The park is managed by a non-governmental organization known as the Malaysian Zoological Society. The zoo located on 110 acres (45 ha) of land in Ulu Klang, near Taman Melawati, in north-east Kuala Lumpur.


2. Sabah Rafflesia flowers.

Do you know that there are 3 types of Rafflesia that can be found in Sabah:
i. Rafflesia keithii Meijer
ii. Rafflesia pricei Meijer
iii. Rafflesia tengku-adlinii Salleh & Latiff

Rafflesia is the official flower for Sabah. You can find and see Rafflesia flower at places such as Poring Hot Springs at the Kinabalu Park and Tambunan Rafflesia Reserve in Sabah.


3. Malaysia Prime Minister series.

Malaysia had gain independence since 31 August 1957. Until now, there are six people who had held the position of Malaysia Prime Minister (Perdana Menteri in Malay). Whenever there is a new appointment of a prime minister, BNM should mint a coin to commemorate that occasion. We don't get a new Prime Minister everyday, right? As what I write before, until know, there is no single coin with Tun Dr. Mahathir face on it.

4. Malaysia famous building.

We have many famous building that should be in BNM designs. Sultan Abdul Samad building for example is already over 116 years old and became the focus during the independence celebrations. It was here, the Union Jack flag was lowered and the Malayan flag hoisted for the first time at midnight on August 31, 1957. The Petronas Twin Towers (also known as the Petronas Towers or KLCC) are skyscrapers and twin towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004 until surpassed by Taipei 101, but remain the tallest twin buildings in the world.

5. Malaysia Warriors- Dato Maharajalela, Mat Kilau, Rentap, Mat Salleh etc.

These countries also have many heroes@warriors who are involved with the independence of Malaysia. These freedom fighters should be put on coins

Dato Maharaja Lela was a Malay nationalist from Perak. Dato Maharaja Lela was a leader who later led the struggle against the British in Perak. He is famous for his planned to assassinate James Wheller Woodfird Birch (JWW Birch), the British Resident of Perak. Birch was killed on 2 November 1875 by Dato Maharaja Lela and his assistant Sepuntum in Pasir Salak.

Rentap or Libau (died 1863) was a famous Iban warrior in Sarawak during the Brooke White Rajah era. Rentap rebellion was due to the James Brooke's action of eliminating the Ibans in Skrang because he thought they were pirates.

Datu Muhammad Salleh or better known as Mat Salleh is famous for a series of major disturbances in North Borneo, now the Malaysian state of Sabah, from 1894 to 1900. The rebellions started when British North Borneo Company imposing a new rules on the Sugud River region; taxes and the requirement for the keris and boat licences.


One of big problem for collector in Malaysia, everytime there is a new commemorative sets come into market, there are not enough gold coins for small buyer like me. Even if BNM minted 500 gold sets for that design, most of the time only few sets can be bought directly from BNM. BNM should make sure an equal right for everyone. Selling them directly to big time buyer directly without regulations is just making the rich became richer. BNM should try minted a color coin with an attractive design in the future. The engraver, designer and mint of the coins should also be included in the Technical Specification of BNM collection. This is just a suggestion and my personal views.

What do you think?

Error in new peso notes

The new generation peso banknotes, rolled out earlier this month and containing the signature of President Benigno Aquino who took office this year, come out with a few error spectacularly in the graphics department. The reverse side of the new 500 peso bill features a rare native bird, the blue-naped parrot, with its red beak incorrectly rendered in yellow and the tail feathers underneath coloured green instead of yellow. A map on the bill (which also carries portraits of Aquino's late parents) mislocates Saint Paul's, a subterranean river that is designated as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Benigno Aquino IIIPhoto by The Straits Times Singapore: President Benigno Aquino III holds the new design of Philippine pesos

"Yes, they have made a very big booboo on the parrot," said Jon Villasper, a cartographer who is also a member of the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines.

"Aside from that, they misplaced Tubbataha reef by around 400 kilometres and Batanes is not on the map. I believe they also misplaced Saint Paul's? subterranean river," he told AFP by email.

Printed on the 1,000 peso bill is a map locating the Tubbataha Reef Marine Park, another prized Philippine UNESCO world heritage site, on or near Malaysian territorial waters. The map of the Philippines which features on six different bills re-draws the country's territory to place its northern limit 150 kilometres south of the actual line and exclude the Batanes island group.

Ghelynne Avril del Rosario, a Manila lawyer, said the mistakes echoed a re-branding campaign by the tourism ministry that was withdrawn last month amid charges that its slogan was forgettable, it plagiarised Poland's campaign and the URL of its website was close to that of a pornographic site. Like the campaign, the bills are now fodder for ridicule on Internet social networking sites, Rosario told AFP.

"Just like scrapping the 'Pilipinas Kay Ganda (Philippines What a Beauty) slogan, let's scrap the new peso notes as well!" she said.

Central bank spokeswoman Fe de la Cruz acknowledged the criticism, but said space constraints limited the artist's room for manoeuvre.

"In choosing the design..., we are always guided by our commitment to enrich the appreciation and knowledge of the Filipinos we honour on our banknotes, as well as the unique sites and species our country should be proud of," she said.

"For our banknotes we used an artist's rendition of the Philippine map that by virtue of space and aesthetics does not reflect all of our islands and the precise coordinates of each site," she told AFP.

"Nevetheless, we appreciate constructive comments and we will take these into account moving forward."

It was not the first time the central bank has been left red-faced over currency design. It was forced in 2005 to withdraw bills that misspelled the name of Gloria Arroyo, Aquino's predecessor as president. The bill, which called her Gloria Arrovo, became a much sought after collectors' item.

2011 coin of the year award

An international panel of judges selected a gold White Rhino, 1 ounce, 100-rand coin from the South Africa Mint Natura series as the winner for The 2011 Coin of the Year Award. The award will be given on 29 January 2011 at the World Money Fair in Berlin, Germany. The judging panel selected the coin from a field of 10 category winners that had been chosen in the first round of voting that had been conducted in November. This year’s competition for 2009-dated coins began with a field of 93 coins issued by mints worldwide.

gold White Rhino2011 COTY
The coin has a diameter of 32.7mm and a mintage of 4,000. Obverse of the 2009-dated coin was designed by N. van Niekerk and M.J. Scheepers. The reverse was designed by van Niekerk and A. Minnie. The common obverse depicts the White Rhinocerous (Ceratotherium simum). The word Rhinoceros means "nose-horn". The horn is not actually a horn but consists of thickly matted hair consisting of Keratin – a chemical substance that our fingernails are made of. The white rhino is not white (it is actually grey) and has been misnamed due to misinterpretation. Because this species is a true grazer its mouth is wide and square lipped and the first Afrikaners named it "wide-mouthed" or "wyd mond". "Wyd/weit" was translated incorrectly as "white". read: South Africa Mint.

COTY 2011 category winners:

New De La Rue Chief

De La Rue, the world's largest printer of banknotes that is currently mulling a takeover approach from a French rival, today announce that it had chosen Tim Cobbold to be its new chief executive. Cobbold, former chief executive of British power systems group Chloride, is taking over from James Hussey, who resigned in August after De La Rue revealed banknote production failures. The appointment comes one week after French banknote printer and chip card maker Oberthur announced a takeover bid for De La Rue worth about 900 million pounds (1.1 billion euros, 1.4 billion dollars).

Tim CobboldPhoto: Tim Cobbold

"We are delighted that Tim will be joining De La Rue as chief executive on 1 January," the British group's interim chief executive Nicholas Brookes said in a statement.

"His wealth of experience, including of international business at the most senior level, will be invaluable to De La Rue both in the short term as we work to resolve current uncertainties and in the longer term as we continue to build our global brand and international customer base."

De La Rue, which employs 4,000 staff across 24 countries, has struggled to overcome the impact of paper production irregularities that hit the company earlier this year.

Cobbold said he was looking forward "to demonstrating De La Rue's fundamental value by building on its core strengths as an independent company and growing value for its shareholders".

August this year, James Hussey, the chief executive of banknote printer De La Rue quit the firm after production at the paper factory halted for failing to meet quality standards. The paper factory in question is located in Hampshire, where the company also has its headquarters. Production at the facility was suspended on 21 July. Early October De La Rue confirmed employees faked the results of quality control tests on paper used for banknotes, but refused to name the clients affected.

What I want for Christmas

Today, someone asked me what I want for Christmas? I am not celebrating Christmas and I don't know what answer should I give. When I visiting Royal Mint website today, I found out about their Ultimate Christmas Cracker. I know for sure, this is what I want for Christmas. A normal cracker consists of a cardboard tube wrapped in a brightly decorated twist of paper, making it resemble an over sized sweet-wrapper. The cracker is pulled by two people, and, much in the manner of a wishbone, the cracker splits unevenly. The split is accompanied by a small bang produced by the effect of friction on a chemically impregnated card strip (similar to that used in a cap gun).


This Royal Mint Ultimate Christmas Cracker inspired by the five golden rings this metal cracker certainly oozes sheer extravagance . Metallic gold in colour, substantial in weight and decorated with two lavish gold bows, it opens up to reveal five glistening £5 Gold Sovereigns each struck to Brilliant Uncirculated standard and accompanied with their individual Certificates of Authenticity. To indulge yourself with luxury and to be the one lucky owner of this unique and exclusive cracker, which is on sale for £10,000, you can call Royal Mint at 0845 60 88 300 between 9am and 5pm Monday to Thursday and 9am to 4pm Friday. You can also read more about this exclusive gift at Royal Mint website.

A great gift that is not affordable for everyone. The upcoming holiday season is just around the corner, and everyone is in a rush to find a gift to their love one. If someone asked me what I want for Christmas again, I will answer "Royal Mint Ultimate Christmas Cracker".

Error in 100 dollar US notes

A printing error has forced the US to stockpile $110bn (£69.78bn) in new $100 notes until officials can sort and destroy the flawed bills. A snag in the printing process left up to 30% of the notes with a blank patch on the face, US network CNBC reported. Officials are working to devise a mechanical process to sort the flawed bills. Doing so by hand would take up to 30 years, officials said. The new, high-security notes were to begin circulating in February 2011.

Photo by newmoney.gov: obverse of $100 dollar.

"We are confident that a very high proportion of the notes will be fit for circulation," Treasury Department spokeswoman Darlene Anderson said.

The bills, which represent an estimated one-tenth of the value of all US currency in circulation, are being held in US government facilities in Washington DC and Fort Worth in the state of Texas. They are the latest in a series of redesigns of US currency intended to fight counterfeiting. The bills are also the first to bear the signature of President Barack Obama's Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner. US news media reported the high-quality cotton and linen fibre stock creased during production of some of the bills, yielding a portion that was not printed.

A statement by Federal Reserve before this stated the new bills circulating date will be delay. The same report by The Federal Reserve also said that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which produces dollars, discovered a problem with "sporadic creasing" of the paper during printing of the 100 dollar note. The technical glitch means that there will not be enough of the new bills to begin distributing them as planned.

Alert: Hong Kong Bullion Scam

Hong Kong's myriad jewellers and pawn shops have been hammered by a gold scam after unwittingly buying hundreds of ounces of bogus bullion, a report said Thursday. The Financial Times described the swindle as "one of the most sophisticated scams to hit the Chinese territory's gold market in decades", and comes as the price of gold sits around record highs around 1,400 US dollars an ounce.

gold scamPhoto by Reuters: Fake gold scam

"It's a very good fake," Haywood Cheung, president of the Chinese Gold & Silver Exchange Society, Hong Kong's gold exchange, told the newspaper.

Cheung told the FT that jewellers and pawn shops in the gold-mad city have discovered at least 200 ounces of fake bullion (worth about 280,000 US dollars) so far this year. But he estimated that 10 times that figure could be making its way through the city's retail market, the paper said.

Among the fakes was a specimen with pure gold coating that masked a complex alloy with similar properties to the precious metal, suggesting fraudsters used sophisticated techniques and equipment, according to the report. From some of the scam, it is discovered that they were using a pure gold coating with 51% gold alloy with seven other alloy; osmium, iridium, ruthenium, copper, nickel, iron & rhodium. The fakes are difficult to detect by sight or touch, and are usually revealed by high-tech tests involving high temperatures and chemicals, the report said.

The Luk Fook Group, one of the city's biggest jewellers, was also tricked into buying almost 12,000 US dollars worth of fake gold until it discovered the scam and alerted its retail stores, the paper said. The scam targeted the sale of scrap gold to jewellers, not the bigger market for gold bars which is more rigorously controlled, the paper said.
