Where to get Malaysia new currency? A foreign readers asked me, "I am interested in your country new currency design, they're beautiful and unique in its own way but can you tell me where can I get them for my collection?" Many of you might had been reading my posts about Malaysia new currency, Malaysia 4th series banknote and Malaysia 3rd series coins. The coins already in circulation from 16 January 2012. The banknotes will only come into circulation in the middle of 2012. Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) only sell them at their branches nationwide and don't have any online shop (it will be helpful if you help sign our petition; we want BNM online shop).
That doesn't mean you need to go to Malaysia to buy them. You can still buy them online in eBay.com.my for a small premium price. Just go to eBay and look for "Malaysia Banknote" or "Malaysia coin". The premier banknote (6 in 1 banknote set) normally sell at MYR450 a piece and for the Malaysia 3rd series coin card the price is around MYR15 excluding postage and other charges. Some sellers might not sell their collection outside Malaysia, you can message them and asked if they want to send it to your country.
Another way to buy the new Malaysia money is from Malaysia Dealers. You can read my list of Malaysia Numismatic dealers at Coin dealer Malaysia. I only knew two dealers who are willing to entertain foreign buyers, you can called or email them asking for their quote price:
