     My last catch for this year. I have been waiting for the right time and the right price to have any of 1st to 4th series of Seratus Ringgit Malaysia to be added to my collection. But I did not put high hope of possessing a Sa-Ratus piece, what more an A/1 prefix one! at least in foreseeable future. But I guess it's my luck then to have chance of keeping this first prefix of the first series Sa-Ratus Ringgit Malaysia at a very reasonable price.

   

    Too sad the note has been washed and got major tear on it. After had successfully bringing her home, I must say that I am still eluded by the beauty of this note. The purplish tone on this note makes me thinking of my mother, which is very fond of that color. Does any of your banknote reminds you of someone? By the way Mom, don't mad at me, I'm buying this note because of you. Good excuse right? hehe

32. New Malaysia TWO RINGGIT.... RM1 OR RM2?

    This is quite confusing. Is this an RM1 note or "TU RINGGIT (two ringgit) / RM2" note of Malaysia? For those who did not get what I meant, try examine bottom right of the first image. It's an error!

26. FOR SALE - Malaysia 2nd Series Sepuluh Ringgit Replacement Note Z/4

      I am not so into replacement notes but until now I still can't believe that I own this piece of rare replacement note. Due to some catalogues that I referred, this note commands the highest price among all replacement notes, together with Z/1 first series Sa-Puloh Malaysia note.

    Due to those who are more knowledgeable in this hobby, this note is being considered the second rarest of Malaysia Replacement Notes. At least 34,902 pieces of this note was printed, is it the print quantity that makes this note rare?

    Owning a Z/4 is something odd for collector like me who do not have even a single of her other siblings, namely Z/1, Z/2 and Z/3. 

      Thus I decided to let this note go for those who are still searching for this last Z-series to complete their replacement note collection. Anyone interested can contact me by email mnfadzlyaj@yahoo.com or by sms to 013-7141165.

   What grade can I give to this note? I'm thinking of aVF.

   Update. This note is sold already. =)
