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




how do you get that? i mean from ATM or shopping exchange.
i’m not get it yet
exinco: You’ll get it soon! All the bank released on 31st Jan 2008
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 -.-
Looks real weird. O_O
Methinks I still prefer the old design.
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
honetsly, i prefer the previous RM50 notes. i think most of us does LOL
The previous is still my favourite compared to this! =) I share the same thoughts with you vickie.. =)
Karthik: yeah.. what to do government need to replace the old 1
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!!
old want better… old want nicer… old want old want!!! ^^ the new one looks too colorful to actually use it… zzzz
Amber: government design…. no idea why created color RM50 note
Look really weird to me. Who designed it?
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 am suppose to be the 1st one to post comment T.T
The new rm50 notes wantan feel lar
Cyrus: Aiks.. I understand geh…. I know you’re the first post then can liow loh hehe
the old 50 notes look better I think.
NoktahHitam: Yea Agree with you. No point wasting so much money and time creating this kind of design again
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
err… I tought the new 50 ringgit got our malaysian astronaut (space traveler)? How come is the palm tree and tunku ah?
Steven Goh: Good question!! If 50 Ringgit got our astronaut I think I wont ask my parents to change it from bank!!
Wow.. You’ve got the latest RM50 note? COol!

curryegg: yeah I remember last time you announce the news regarding RM50 before too
geee… i tot it will be of the same material as the 5 bucks.
hahaha had i not read this entry i wouldn’t have known there’s a new 50 ringgit face out there -_-” really lost touch with local news, sigh sigh. have to read up more already
never knew the government would rebrand the 50 ringgit note with the 50 years anniversary. kinda catchy
satkuru: lol you really din read newspaper -.-
I don’t like. >_<
Prefer the old one.
chingy: erm.. I agree
You showing off RM50.. you wanna give me angpau isit? Hahaha
NoktahHitam: waiting you to give me -.-

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.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 =,=
I also thought that the new RM50 is plastic one.. not till I got it.. *LOL*
Oh my god, looks much worse than the one we are having now.
Plastic high cost i think, that y Bank Negara only manage to create the paper new RM50.
Between, Happy chinese new year!
a Beautiful RM 50!
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…
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…
walau….i didn’t know until i saw ur blog….. really outdate ling =.=
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
Prefer the old one.
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 $$$?
i wan money money noney only.. i dun care is new or old.. as long as money..
