Malaysia 2011 10 Sen

***Une pièce malaisienne portant la valeur de 10 sen emis cette annee que je suis venu de découvrir aujourd'hui, ce que je ne sais pas exister.
Peut-etre qu'un petit imbécile ignorant comme moi ne sais pas l'existence de pièces portant la date de 2011 & que celles-ci existent & ont été en circulation depuis janvier....
Tous les collectionneurs savent qu'il y aurait une nouvelle série de pièces que la banque centrale va emettre cette année mais l'apparition de cette "vieille" pièce portant la date de 2011 nous pose une question, c'est-à-dire, y aura-t-il de vieilles & nouvelles pièces (celles du nouveau dessein) qui partageront une date similaire?

Malaysia $100 Low Numbers 0000001 - 1000000

***Des 10 billets emis cette année répresentant les 10 premiers billets pour le préfix de CT de la série de RM100, des billets qu'on peut voir souvent dans le passé mais ceux qu'on voit moins fréquents aujourd'hui.

Et de plus, il semble que le prix de ceux-ci se sont beaucoup accrus.
La raison - peut-etre que les collectionneurs savent que cette série ait déjà pris fin...et de ce fait, le prix de ceux-ci s'est naturellement accru du à la demande plus forte. C'est à vous de deviner la raison justifiée.

Merci encore une fois à M. Raymond Chang, le leader du monde numismatique malaisien, de m'avoir vendu ces billets avec un prix très raisonnable. C'est effectivement difficile de chercher une personne comme lui dans le monde numismatique malaisien......

Malaysia 2010 $1 ABX Prefix

***A stack of 100 pieces of the current RM1 note bearing the Prefix of ABX.

Of course, the market-leader in the Malaysian numismatic world, Mr Raymond Chang, has the first 1,000 pieces of this banknote and he will be parting them to me upon his return from his trip from neighboring Thailand.

Thanks for helping me so much with my still-infant-stage collection. Where would my collection be without your immense help?!

Malaysia $50 Solid NOs 8888888

***A current-in-use RM50 banknote in Choice UNC condition bearing the always-desired Solid NOs of XX8888888.

A pivotal note for any Solid Numbers collection and a note certain collectors are now trying to 'control.'

And a million thanks to Mr Raymond Chang, the respected numismatic dealer & above all, the market leader in this field, for parting this note to me at the best possibly unimaginable price....

Raymond, tu es sans doute l'un de mes amis le plus sincère & avant tout, une personne que je respecte beaucoup particulièrement dans le monde numismatique, merci.

Malaysia $100 Solid NOs 8888888

***An elusive banknote in the form of the RM100 denomination signed by the current Governor bearing the Solid NOs of 8888888 in Choice UNC condition, and a note which has been playing hide & seek with me for a long, long time.

Thanks to my friend & fellow-collector, Kevin from Singapore, who was so kind to sell this note to me & that too at a reasonable camaderie price, I have finally managed to complete my Solid Nos set for this RM100 denomination.

Kevin, no worries, the Kam Heong crab that I have promised is 100% on when I will be dropping by at Temasek to see you and my China doll next week.

For those of you who are still looking for the elusive piece(s) of Solid NOs for this series, good luck to you as this series has already ended!

Haiti 1 Gourde SPECIMEN Tyvek

***A 1 Gourde 'Specimen' banknote printed on the now defunct Tyvek technology from Haiti.

This note must have been issued during the early '80s on the now defunct Dupont technology.

If the affluent Chinese collectors were to come into the picture, surely most of the banknotes printed on Tyvek will rise like hell in value as so far only 3 countries have ventured into Tyvek, with the basket-case Haiti the most prolific of them all......

And the unreliable Tyvek technology has since been consigned to the dung heap!

China 2011 Year Of The Rabbit Stamps

***This was the widely anticipated zodiac Year Of The Rabbit stamps recently issued by China to usher in the Year Of The Rabbit as per the Chinese zodiac calendar.
Its price when sold per sheet has already multiplied many folds and if what Chinese grapevine has been whispering is correct, it is expected that this year's rabbit issue would charter very much higher territories in years to come.

Definitely an exciting issue worth all the waiting for!
