Malaysian Ringgit Banknotes (MYR) – A Symbol of Growth and Cultural Identity
The Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) is the official currency of Malaysia, known for its vibrant design, security, and reflection of the country’s rich heritage. Issued by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), Ringgit banknotes are trusted across Southeast Asia and globally for travel, trade, and investment.
Ringgit banknotes are available in denominations of RM1, RM5, RM10, RM20, RM50, and RM100, each uniquely color-coded and featuring iconic Malaysian symbols. From the majestic Wau Bulan (moon kite) to the national flower, Bunga Raya (hibiscus), the notes proudly display Malaysia’s cultural identity, natural beauty, and economic aspirations.
The latest series of polymer-based RM1 and RM5, along with paper-based higher denominations, are embedded with advanced security features such as color-shifting ink, security threads, watermark portraits, microtext, and tactile elements for the visually impaired.
Malaysia’s Ringgit is a freely floating currency, stable within the ASEAN region, and widely used for tourism, regional trade, and digital payments. Its modern design, enhanced durability, and counterfeit resistance make it a preferred currency across sectors.
