    A lot of people a saying I got the name of the guy from the front of the notes wrong - I didn't, he just has a similar name to the first Prime Minister (on the back of the 50). One is Tuanku Abdul Rahman, and the other is Tunku Abdul Rahman respectively. I did however incorrectly state that Mt Kinabalu is the tallest mountain in South East Asia - it's not.

    The word 'VOID' is there because when you scan or photocopy it, it makes the word 'VOID' appear very boldly. This security feature is also used on cheques, and prescription forms. If you notice, the pattern which the word 'VOID' is printed in, is in contrast to the pattern around it which is what makes it appear boldly when scanned or photocopied.

    3:01 - Under normal circumstances, the word VOID blends in and isn't too noticeable, but when scanners and copiers and such read it, they end up picking it up and the result shows "VOID" a lot more prominently. It's like using infrared for some things because it's invisible to the (human) eye, but it's detectable to cameras or more numismatically, adding UV-reactive stuff to bills. Checks/cheques (remember those) had the same thing.

He said he will give Rm 10 to us if we guessed how many number 1 in the Rm1(polymer) correctly. And yeah, we all started took out our Rm1, counting the number 1 on it, passionately, hoping we get the Rm10. But, nobody guessed it right. Then, out of nowhere he pulled out the UV torch light kinda thing, put the money in a dark place, and showed us that's there about six more number 1 at the back of money.

    Three more fun facts:
    1. If you look close enough near the Tengkolok which is the hat of Tuanku Abdul Rahman, just above the star and you will see his regnal name which is Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di Pertua Agong Pertama Al Marhum Tuanku Abdul Rahman Ibni Al Marhum Tuanku Muhammad.
    On the latest series of banknote, only the RM50 doesn't have it. You might need to use a camera to zoom in on it because it's really hard to pick up by naked eye.
    2. The tip of the Tengkolok is made up of Mount Kinabalu.
    3. If you look at the right side of the banknote, just above the ear of Tuanku Abdul Rahman, you will see a bird lying next to the Tengkolok. Unfortunately I don't know which species is it but my best guess is the Asian Fairy Blue Bird.

    Thank you for reviewing my country's bank notes. It is very well researched that some of the things you pointed out I didn't even know e.g the UV glow patterns!
    If you notice the RM50 note is quite distinct from its friends because IIRC it's the first to get a design upgrade from the really old 70s designs. It's also the first to get the new tech e.g. the holographic strip.
    For an interesting money-related titbit: The logo of the National Savings Bank of Malaysia is in the form of the "pokok pitis" or "coin tree". It was how the old state of Kelantan used to smelt their money into metal trees, and then you pluck the coins off the tree. A motif of the Kelantan State, the kijang (barking deer), also made its way into the central bank's logo that you've shown.
    Hopefully you do eventually get a hold of the RM60 and RM600 notes for an update video!

Too much then actions must be taken. you're in uni, an adult (young adult, right?). If you still have this problem with your parents, then you should and must talk it out before they depend _too much_ on you (I know this is rather rude but your parents should've saved some money to use themselves instead of taking from their son, even if they're old, they should've saved money when they could). Be careful on how talk it out, your parents has the high ground, but play your cards right and you might be free.
      My friends agreed that my mum can be quite a scum for taking my money without consent (I'm not rude here. It's the truth). I even have the morals to never steal money, I would still return the spare change from what my mum lend me, my mum gets very picky about this.

It's inked on the tongkolok, which is the headgear, can be found right above the crest. It can also be found on the RM1, RM5, RM10, RM20 and the RM100 banknotes but not on the RM50.

      Yes, this is what it is. A lot of official documents have this. An example is my birth certificate, wich instead of void says another word, but that is the same concept. The word becomes black on a copy, and so is by no doubt, a copy. You’d be surprised how many documents have this when it comes to licenses, IDs, court documents, currencies, certificates and all. Documents having void on it are not necessarily invalid for what you use it for. It just means that it is not the original, but a photocopy of the document, wich is still accepted by many organizations, when sent by mail, email, or fax. When you are physically there however, they will usually ask for the real one. For currency however, it is always invalid

    Bills are so diverse and so cultural like how to flip do people think of making the biggest banknote or a banknote with a pattern of UV lights on. I like how these Malaysian notes have one of their cultural flowers, it adds a nice bit of prettiness to it. Im also a massive fan of the little shadow of who I think is their leader. Very nice notes

    I haven't completed the Malaysian ringgit yet but I'm hoping to do so when I get a chance to visit their country. The Philippines also released banknotes similar in physical size, namely a Php100,000.00 and a Php2,000.00 banknote both measuring 22x33cm and were issued for the 1998 Philippine Centennial Year. It's literally a big bill but Malaysia's got us beat! I'm sometimes envious of the people who were lucky to snag their own because boy, is it too expensive for me. Thanks for another fun and amazing video, Chris. Kudos! And keep 'em coming.

    This note is incredibly rare, that's why you were not able to get one. To obtain it you had to apply for one with your IC number (our national registration) and then hope you were chosen. So collectors got as many of their friend's IC numbers together and submitted them just for the chance to get even one. A coworker of mine submitted as many as he could get in our 300 strong company and only got 2 hits! For this reason, most collectors are not willing to part with it let alone to let it see the light of day. On top of that it was sold for more than it's face value but I don't remember how much.

    There are only 14 kings on the RM60 and RM600 notes. The sultan of Kedah was king twice between 1957 to 2017 and as such his portrait was printed twice. Also these notes celebrate the signing of the independence agreement, and not independence of Malaysia. Back in 1957, the country was known as Malaya, before Sarawak and Sabah joined as Malaysia in 1963.
