Malaysia $1 ABW 2626262 & ABY 2626262



***2 pieces of nothing-to-gloat-about Malaysian RM1 banknotes, which just happen to be bearing the Serial NOs of 2626262 & so happen to have a smaller & subsequent bigger font for their prefixes.

Of course, the Malaysian numismatic leader, his venerable Datuk Raymond Chang has the all important ABX0000001 to ABX1000000 safely in his grasp.

Do you really expect him to sell these to you if you ask him to? He can't sell these to you as he has already sold these to me, you dungu!

Datuk Raymond Chang is a man of his words & that means once he has promised to sell me the above notes, he will keep to his word, no matter how much you will offer him subsequently. His soul is never for sale & yes, his mother is not for sale either no matter how high your price is.

Malaysia $5 Polymer Solid Numbers 9999999


***Truly a banknote that one can gloat about for a long time in the form of the Malaysia's RM5 Polymer banknote bearing the Solid Serial Numbers of 9999999, provided always that you have it in your collection.

Otherwise, you can just gawk at it, just like you would at a hottie strutting her stuff in the streets.

How many such polymer solid numbers notes are around as they seem to be rather invisible to the general collection public?

Is this note the scarcest of all the solid numbers notes of all the various denominations?

The United States 1 Cent Error Off-Centre Strike


***An Error 1 Cent coin from The United States with an Off-Centre Strike of around 70%, at least.

But, I suppose such an error esp. from the American 1 cent series is nothing to gloat about as after all there are so many errors churned out from this series due to the abundance of coins struck in this denomination of 1 cent.

And, I suppose the costs for producing this 1 cent coin must be more than 1 cent! I am still wondering why the Feds still bother to mint this smallest denomination series.

Malaysia 1976 10 Sen Missing Obverse Error


***This Error 10 sen coin dated 1976 must be one collectible that has been in my possession for the longest time - at least 30 years now, if not more.
As a school-boy, I found this coin in some loose change and I was very excited, then, to have come across this freak coin, whereby its Obverse is missing or almost missing. I would grade this coin as Good EF to AU & it still retains its original patina on the Reverse.

It's amazing that this coin is still with me after all these donkey years considering the number of times that I have moved house & during the brief period that I was in Europe.

And obviously, unlike the current Bunga Raya series, this 1976 coin is definitely an unassisted pure mint error, & and which is further emphasised by the presence of the light silhouette of the actual missing design, a typical feature I am told for such an error.

Malaysia 1999 DJ First Prefix


***A stack of 100 pieces of the RM2 note with rather cute Serial NOs issued way back in 1999 with the First Prefix of DJ for this series.
Basically, an issue that no one gave a hoot about back then but an item some collectors would like to grab hold of today.

None of the dealers have this DJ issue currently in their stock as most of this issue had been opened up & used and I suppse that's the purpose why these banknotes were printed for in the first place, ie, they are meant for circulation and not to be hoarded!

China 1960 2 Yuan


***Un petit billet de banque en ce qui concerne la taille, de la république populaire de la Chine, émis en 1960, ne portant que la valeur de 2 Yuan.

Un billet qu'on donnait pas d'attention il y a tout juste 2 années, mais aujoud'hui, ça a effectivement tout changé, comme si ceci était fabriqué en utilisant le papier d'or.

Et sans doute ce n'est plus nécessaire pour vous de deviner ce que je veux dire ici, car vous savez très bien maintenant, bien que vous soyez à Timbuktu ou sur la lune, que les prix de tous les billets chinois & y compris les timbres, se sont beaucoup accrus ce derniere année, & manifestement par les actes speculatifs de la part des nouveaux riches Chinois.

Et suis confiant que meme le prix du papier hygénique chinois va s'accroître, lui aussi, dan l'avenir proche......qu'en pensez vous?! Et vont les Chinois 'oser' utiliser celui-ci alors pour torcher leurs c..........?!
