The New RM50

click here to see the clear version of RM50

It was the first new RM50 (Ringgit Malaysia) I had received yesterday. I know the new RM50 announced a month ago in newspaper. I thought it was made by plastic like RM5 but still made by paper. Overall, the design of new RM50 looks very �Malay Traditional� feel, all the green color table fabric laces design appeared on the new RM50.

I got no comment about the back design of RM50. Probably it represents biotechnology in Malaysia for the figure on the new 50 bucks.

So, what is your comment about the new RM50? Prefer previous design better or the new one? (I still like the old design).

    where u got that??..i still got few old rm50 notes,the only thing i like about the new note is the strip on the right side beside the feller,besides that the color looks more like rm1 note tho.i still prefer the old one as it has the element of luxury eventho itz juz rm50 but to me as a student thats a 5 days meal.
    flux: ahah I post up here just show you how does the new RM50 note look like. Anyway, we can’t change the design as the government created it

    It is still 50 ringgit to me. I will prefer to keep an old one aside for collection purposes and just use the new one.

    The back of the note looks abit…..cacat.
    Its like a picture in another huge frame. I’d say it’ll look better if the picture is enlarge to the max!
    3POINT8: the 2 picture attached above allow you to see the clearer version of RM50 note -.-

    They only made 4.9m (not sure whether it’s in amount or pieces). It’s a limited edition kind of note. last time got pre-order, RM60 per piece but now they decided to use the new notes.
    cibol: This is not a limited edition RM50 note. You’ll see this RM50 note everywhere after CNY

    Haha. Whatever the design, I LIKE RM50 NOTES! I don’t really know what to comment on the design, but I wonder how long will that 50-years-old logo (marking Malaysia’s 50 years of independence) stay.
    narrowband: I like RM50 notes too.. $$ woh!!

    Ya, they should have made it like the RM5 note. Kalis air. Well, I don’t really mind any kind.. as long as it is authentic money. Speaking of which.. I expect it to become a big hit in terms of it being in the angpao this coming CNY. HAhaha..

    lynnx01: ahah agree!! I expect this time many ppl give new RM50 note this coming CNY

    Yeah, the back design is not very good. Also perhaps a “cyber” theme is better than the Kelapa Sawit one ??

    Andrew Ooi: yeah.. Especially the design kelapa sawit and Tunku Abdul Rahman doesn’t match at all

    I wonder if the color of the bunga merah will fade away, if it will, then those who like to put money in their shirt pocket, make sure you don’t go out during rainy days, cos your wife might suspect u having an affair after seeing the red stains here and there.

    Chris: I won’t think will fade away. If the bunga merak color faded away then our previous money’s color also does the same thing already

    I posted about this but never actually got hold of one. I still think the bunga raya picture makes it look cheap… hmm, but i don’t remember seeing the kelapa sawit (at least not this design) the last time. All in all, the old RM50 note looks more expensive and RM50-like. This one looks like anyone could print one out. XD

    BYE!

    p.s. No no, i didn’t try printing one out! :P
    p.s.p.s. I wouldn’t mind having some of those RM50 notes in my angpows. Haha!

    usws: erm… actually all money also easy to print out. But its illegal neh =,=

    Haiyoo… I have not get hold to any of the new RM50… but once I got one, I will keep it… will not spent it… then i will show it to the world… :D

    I thought they said it’s like the RM5… made of polymer so it ‘tahan lasak’… if not polymer, no use changing it lah… wating time only…

    Two days ago, I went to Public Bank to pay bills using the Cash Machine… there was a notice… Do Not Use… the new RM50 until further notice… I guess, they need to modify thier ATM/Cash Machine lah…

    according to wikipedia, all malaysia banknotes will change into plastic but I wonder when….
    i think the new RM50 is a plastic but is still paper money…

    According to wikipedia, all Malaysia banknotes will change into polymer banknotes(plastic)..
    you can read this on page ‘malaysia ringgit’ in wikipedia and find this verse at side Third Series…

    ” According to Bank Negara, all paper notes will eventually be phased out and replaced by polymer notes.”

    Oh boy, i want collect all banknotes around the world…..!! it’s fascinating !

    Wow , that a “smack on the face” design of fifty note. Realy ‘bodek’ design one, batik and biotech :lol: Prefer the old one.

    MyAvatars 0.2 Posted by Yoshi on February 12th, 2008 at 12:22 am

    IMO, the old one looks a lot better. If they didn’t use plastic material for it, what’s the point of changing the design? BNM got too much $$$? :P
