The Malaysian Ringgit

In Malaysia, they use the Malaysian Ringgit as their currency (no symbol, just MYR). The money here is just like ours - colourful with monarchy on it. Unlike ours, the bills get physically smaller as the denominations get smaller. The new 10s and 20s are very similar in colour as the 20s aren't quite as bright yellow. This is because like our money, Malaysia has decided to use PLASTIC money. Although you cannot tell, the 5 here is plastic.

Obviously, I didn't have much change. There are two 20 cent pieces (beside the 20 ringgit bill) and one 10 cent piece beside the 10 ringgit bill. I'm not sure which is the new 20 and which is the old 20 cent piece. There is a 50 cent piece (silver) about the size of a loonie and a 5 cent piece (silver) about the size of a dime. No penny :(
