Malaysia 1999 $2 ZD Replacement ALI ABUL HASSAN UNC


***10 Consecutive Uncirculated RM2 ZD Replacement banknotes from Malaysia dated 1999 signed by the short-termed 1-yr-Governor, Ali Abul Hassan.
Only 3.5 prefixes were issued for the regular banknotes for this issue & as such, common sense would tell us that the replacements would be even much lesser & above all, for this now obsolete & no-longer-issued RM2 denomination issue.
A very popular replacement banknotes among various Malaysian collectors today!
The banknotes featured today bear slightly lower & nice plus so-to-speak prosperous serial numbers!

Malaysia 1998 $100 ZA Replacement AHMAD DON UNC


***A set of 3 Consecutive Uncirculated ZA Replacement banknotes from Malaysia dated 1998 signed by Ahmad Don.
As most collectors from Malaysia would know by now, the banknote featured today is the rarest $100 post-1996 Replacement banknote & the reason for this is very simply due to the small quantities issued.
And perfect uncirculated condition for this note is quite tough to come by as most of these banknotes, even though in UNC condition, have counting marks on them.

Malaysia 1982 4th Series $100 AZIZ TAHA


***This 1982 4th Series $100 banknote from Malaysia signed by Aziz Taha must be the MOST expensive/valuable $100 banknote, in any condition, ever issued from the 1st series right up to the 11th series.
The above banknote featured here is an Original piece; 'Original' meaning the banknote has not been washed and/or pressed or mischieviously tampered in any way.
One can clearly see the folds & other 'valleys.' Isn't this how a circulated banknote should look like?
It's kind of surreal to see similar circulated banknotes in the form of VF or EF grades being offered for sale, but with the folds missing to the naked eye. Isn't that weird?
No, it is just that such banknotes have been washed & pressed & in some serious instances, even having being ironed!

It is not easy to find this issue in choice UNC condition with sharp edges/corners, no foxing, with original sheen & above all, no counting marks.
Many such banknotes sold in the open market have irritating counting marks as during those days, there were no counting machines at banks & banknotes were manually counted, resulting in bent corners.
