Hi All,

I found some collection of paper money passing down from my grandfather.
Some money and coins are really old and full with historical value.
I was wondering, where can I verify the value of these money.



Muzeum? Money Collectors?
Any link and contacts that I could have to check?

Please help.

Regards,
HKNP

lelong? IIRC i saw some sellers trying to sell some of those old notes
what about the value of rm50 with the serial number ending with 8888?

I was talking about paper money that was issue at January 1940, Rm100 notes without numbers, decolored Rm50 (color not same with normal notes).... and so many more...

hEY...

I collect paper money too...BUt mostly foreign countries. I have only 1 old RM1 note and 1 "Pokok Pisang" note from the Jap occupation. I dont know how much its worth, but would like to find out too......

it depends. If your "pokok pisang" money is normal 1...it only worth a little... but if your money is with those Japanese surrendering notice printed in red near the pokok pisang 1... then it might worth more...

I have a few... :hehe"

I see...Then I think mines the normal one....It doesn't have any red notice........

i think those cannot be value lor...
not interest one will say no value,
but interest collector will say is priceless......

just my opinion....

agreed ... anyone collecting paper money here... that can provide a way to verify the value of these artifacts??

Quite true also....

Everything that does not interest a person might crap to him but gold to others...1 mans poison is another man bread...(err I think I got that right)

Imagine those with RM20/RM500/RM1000 notes....salute to them...I missed collecting the RM20 note....Too young then and didn't realize the significance....

On another note, when I was in hostel in college, some ppl broke into my room and took my $Aus and Banana tree money....

Haha banana money.... My mother used to told me that when the Japs surrenders, those British throws the money from a plane in boxes and she used to pick them up to burn in the stove to help start fires...
hahhaha

Imagine If I have a box of it now...mauahahaha

Then you can start selling them to avid colletors......

That is the purpose of this thread... I need to know the value of the collections before I get to sell them to avid collectors...

Any one can help.... any place in KL that have this kind of service?

picture uploaded

nice looking note you have there....really Old it is...

1st January 1940, already 66 years liao

ANy1 interested to collect those square syilling ... I have 1 bucket of it ... will post the picture soon...

dude, last time i went to sungei wang, got antique shop there, din remember which floor, bought old coins from them, maybe can go and ask them the value...

Why dont try bank negara's Money Museum
My Webpage
http://moneymuseum.bnm.gov.my/index.php?ch=7&pg=31

Well, I try to contact Muzeum Negara last time... Instead of selling out, they ask me to donate to the Muzeum....

How ironic of them...

Of course lar dude...they wanna try and cheat you out of it.....If you have a lot donate 1 -2 notes out of good grace ler....But try to keep or sell the others....

I also have some banana money.. got it from my mom.. Wonder what's the value for the banana money..

Well you can always ask for the local stamps and coins collectors and sees if they interested in collecting yours.
For my case, I have found some collectors overseas that are interested in collection my stocks...

There is a book in local bookstores about local notes along with their resale value. Look for it under the hobby section.

If you want to visit a shop, there's one in AmcorpMall that specializes in old money, they buy and sell I think.

cOol Dude...thanks for the info

julchin if you manage to grab hold of the book... be sure to share it here... might need to know the price as well... maybe we can search the book together and see who got it 1st
...

I have a older book dated 1995/96 pricing .. later I bring it back and see

You go Amcorp and search ler. Im all the way in Johor....

got 2 100 year old India coins, know how much its worth?

Careful of the Amcorp shop.. Even though it is legitimate shop that sells and buy old currencies - coins, paper or otherwise.. they usually will undercut you ard 75% of the original value .. When they sell to avid collectors.. they sell like 200% of the original values (not the value they bought it from you)..

Once I tried to go there to check how much those 1960's 50 cent coins that has the silver lining on the center worth.. They told me it is worthless but I didnt believe them. Then I got my friend to go there and ask the shop owner about purchasing those coins.. They told him that each coins is worth RM300 to 500 depending conditions of the coins.

There are a lot of these old currencies shops
just ask around before you trying to sell it out
so far I know Sungai Wang near the Popular bookshop (forgot which floor) got one
then Pertama Complex also got one

If you want to know the estimate value of your notes
it's better to get a currencies catalogue
I think you can buy it at those old currencies shops or Bank Negara

well, just to heat up the thread a bit.. hahah here is a wrongly printed note RM 100... agong head

If u wish to know value of those old currency $$ value, it got a book that note down all old currently in sought east asia. Think the book sould be arround RM40-100, last edition I saw was b4 year 2000

Sorry in all, I half stop this hobby for some long time. maybe I try ask for my old teacher, he teach me this b4.

HKNP: Wao, u got wrong printed note, great on u!!! Your RM100 is 2nd signature edition, I got crazy collect in 1st edition in all, now left rm500 & RM1000, too costly for me...

yup...
hey the 1st edition 1.. i currently have rm1, rm 5 , rm10 , rm20, rm 50 and rm100... rm1000 and rm500 is too costly .. hahah i doubt any 1 will keep them hehehhehe

wao, same as mine in 1st edition!!!! SUre wana keep them!

1st edition, the signature damn nice, too complex!!

2nd Edition, the signature still ok, but cant compare with 1st! RM20 only last appear on this collection!

3rd Edition, wao lau yee, too simple, not so nice.... (all is my personal coment)


Hey, dont know u got those b4 1st edition of collection of not? that 1 damn hard to find now, maybe $1 still ok bit in find...
I got some lot of $1,
1x$10(tiger invisible head) &
x100 of $5(too bad loss some in between, or else is damn nice of x100 collection)



Previos few post got ppl show 1, if I no mistaken, that is Queen Ezlizaber's father face, $$ b4 our merdeka... I also forgot I got or not...
For the Banana $$, it can say no much value at all, only value if it got the serial number.
those non-serial number is when WW2, the soldier mass print out for some temp use, but when ww2 end, those non-serial $$ also become useless...



Ohya, forgot to say, nice to meet u & other, got time & got a good DC, I show some my old currency hobby collection...
My another old collection hobby is Stamp, but that 1 almost quit early than old currency, because stamp is more hard in take care.

PS: If u wish to make this as value hobby collector, PLS dont use your hand go touch thsoe paper(old currecy & stamp) always, it maybe spoilt it.
If can, use small clamp to catch it, & hold them in a special size platic bags. That y I stop stamp collection, so hard to take care them....

I have stamps collection too..... 6 album of it.... 1st day cover also got.. stop for so long liao... sigh...

I have coins collection too... form square quaters to silver coins... Queen Elizaberth datuk to her father to QE2 also got.. quater sen, half sen, 1 sen.. alot lah.. dunno why my datuk keep them all...

found them under the staircase from old old kampung house where they use to build a small store room under the stair case.. 1 time near new year , me and my mom go clean up that place... found an old Duckham oil can.. those 20 litre 'tong' heheh.. jack it open .. walaa like treasure... full of coins... square 1 ... round 1 heheh .. then I start collecting the historical information about these note and coins.

Nice to meet u too... keep this thread alive...

Cool!!! make my sleep fire burning again...

Damn lucky u got collect so much in that way... I just collect slow in slow long ago... Year 2000 stop until now.... Maybe no start now, but I can share with u all my old exp....

Accualy, if wana collect Malaysia $$, got lot u can learn & must know, like those last old time (1st edition, now is 2nd edition) 10 cen & 20 cen, unless u r expert in this, or else very hard u can collect all the year of them.... Because some of the year just produce onlty few tousand only, so very limited & valueble....

I've been searching for the elusive 1983 50 cents coin for 2 years now and I finally found it as a change from a parking meter payout in a shopping mall in PJ!!

The last i saw in lelong.com a 1983 50 cents is worth around RM25 and the 1985 is around RM20...supposedly they are limited runs dats why...

wonder how much you guys value it....uh nonsensical threads are also allowed!!!

flame on ppl!!!

This post has been edited by jceh83: Jun 28 2006, 09:13 PM

really? didnt know that , thanks for the heads up

is that coins the one that has black line on its edge instead of 'bank negara malaysia'? i saw a few before too.

well nope..it still has the bnm words on the side just that those 2 years has limited runs on the coins and like i said took me 2 years just to find the 83 coin!!

how much is it worth?.... prolly about 50 cents

The things may worth millions , just say the price , if and only if , it is really on demand ...

If not , Fifty cent is still a fifty cent ....

Republica Mexicana old coin. Year 1869. I wanna sell it. How much is it worth? Any old coin expert here? I wanna sell 1820 american coin. From the articel that i read, someone sold the year 1802 for usd 5million. I'll put the pic later. Got malay old coin too (rm5 coin). Where to sell it?

go to amcorp mall on sunday i think they might be a lot ppl interested there

i read through this whole thread hoping there is an answer to the topic starter question... but no answer, actually i also looking for the place to verify the money and sell it... here i got a 1934 thousand dolar USD note n i already look over the net and found out the value of this type is between 1500-5000 USD. but to enable me to sell it on ebay, i need to get verification from CGA( Currency Grading and Authentication inc)

yup thats what I am searching on... and authentication body that an verify the true value of the money. If we can get the certification, the an auction can be taken place to attract more interested party to join the auction.

I have made calls to Muzeum Negara and what those "fella" told me is that they are interested only when we wanted to donate to them....blekkkk...

the Malaya money that I posted up earlier on found a buyer from US .... roughly 100 USD... cheaplek... I am not selling.. hehehe

wow.. found this club..
im a collector too. too bad this thread is not active anymore i think.

[quote=byloo,Jun 27 2006, 11:27 AM]
wao, same as mine in 1st edition!!!! SUre wana keep them!
[quote]
1st edition, the signature damn nice, too complex!!
I think it's called 5th series, signature of "Aziz Taha". My favourite also.

2nd Edition, the signature still ok, but cant compare with 1st! RM20 only last appear on this collection!
6th series, signature of "Jaafar". I got the Rm20 too.

3rd Edition, wao lau yee, too simple, not so nice.... (all is my personal coment)
7th series, signature of "Ahmad don something"

the 8th series onward are same with what we have now but only with different signature.
8th series, Ahmod Don side signed
9th series, Ali Abul Hassan side signed
10th series, Ali Abul Hassan center signed
11th series, Zeti Azmin center signed
Hey, dont know u got those b4 1st edition of collection of not? that 1 damn hard to find now, maybe $1 still ok bit in find...
I got some lot of $1,
1x$10(tiger invisible head) &
x100 of $5(too bad loss some in between, or else is damn nice of x100 collection)

wow, there are 4 series before this, mind post some picture of them to see?


Previos few post got ppl show 1, if I no mistaken, that is Queen Ezlizaber's father face, $$ b4 our merdeka... I also forgot I got or not...
For the Banana $$, it can say no much value at all, only value if it got the serial number.
those non-serial number is when WW2, the soldier mass print out for some temp use, but when ww2 end, those non-serial $$ also become useless...
I dont mind keeping some even without the serial number.
Anyone willing to sell can PM me.
ebay malaysia selling RM3-8 but I'm lazy to bid.

the serial number one is crazy about few hundreds.

Those type of notes are called errors or freak notes... like I've said earlier just buy a catalogue...

Also the value of your coins and notes can be high but if there is no buyer no point also...

That's normal lah... don't pay any attention to BNM. They don't even mint their own coins or print their own notes

Maybe I'll dust off my books and check the price of the notes you already posted.

Also don't put too much trust in Amcorp Mall traders, most coins and notes are overpriced and some traders sell fakes as well. They're out to make a profit

There used to be a Malay dude there selling FDC and stamps and he was the only genuinely honest trader I've met. I think he quit selling about the time we close shop, back then I was helping my mum sell potted plants and his shop was right next to ours.

edit 02/04/08: Sorry guys I've misplaced my books and I can't find it...

Nothing so unique.

Great banknote. 500 dollars is worth a lot back then.

Unless the notes are in good condition or from the colonial past. It might not be that worthy.

Which series?

Serial number not solid enough. Maybe can sell for RM100 if there are any buyers.

How much is a RM10 note worth, with the following serial number
7674767

Hello fellow collectors.

I am offering my novice grading skills to evaluate the value of your coins/banknotes.

Please provide a clear picture or a scan of your coins/banknotes for evaluation.

Grading is very subjective and I could only provide estimated grading value based on my skills.

If the banknote is circulated then it is only worth its face value.

Mirror numbers are quite common because of the variety.

do banks help to change old money to new?

Commercial banks do accept them when you deposit them into an account.

Try to have a peek at the cash drawers of commercial banks. You might be surprised to find old banknotes.

Hi guys, any 1 know the value of this set money?

this set very good meh?

the number no special...

someone here know what's market price now for RM50 merdeka edition?

Some note frm my collection
