Talk:Malaysian ringgit/Archive 1

By a Collector
I added more information on the new banknotes because I felt that this article needed to be updated. The new RM10 note is similar to the old Wawasan 2020 RM10 note but it has a lead security feature. The RM5 note is also similar to the Wawasan 2020 RM5 note but it is made of polymer and its watermark has a small picture of the Prime Minister's Office instead of the first king. A.L.

The images of banknotes may need a "specimen" label, and perhaps approval from bank negara (if i'm not mistaken)

Merger

 * It's been suggested that this page be merged with ringgit. My vote is no, since the word ringgit is used locally for currencies listed in Wikipedia under other names, as is explained in ringgit. Dove1950 18:28, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. It can also refer to the Singapore dollar and Brunei dollar in the Malay language. The article should be made into a disambig page and the image of the Malaysian ringgit should be moved. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 21:01, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose, clearly. Make ringgit a dab page, without pictures. — Nightst  a   llion  (?) 13:23, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The analogy is the relationship between Dollar and US Dollar. __earth (Talk) 08:08, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose All of the above  Jo  e  I  04:20, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose due to different meanings. However, references needed for Ringgit. -- SpLoT 04:23, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose due to use of name for different currencies. -- Ouishoebean 07:56, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment it seems quite unanimous. How long do we have to wait to take the tag down? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 14:34, 21 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Oppose per above. Ac s 4b 07:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

"Official Abbreviation" is RM ? Then what of MYR ?
This article gives what looks to be two official abbreviations for the Malaysian ringit: MYR and RM.

Could someone add a reference indicating the organizations who prefer using RM over MYR and vice versa ?

Thanks -- RB

Origin of term "Sen"
Is sen derived from the English term cent, or the Japanese sen, or something else? Nik42 05:39, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Which one do you think is the most probable answer? __earth (Talk) 12:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Copies of Notes
You need permission from Bank Negera Malaysia to make copies of notes and coins. The copies also need to have "SPECIMEN" or "CONTOH" printed on them. I suggest that the pictures are taken down and be placed back when permission is obtained. Volvagia356 05:39, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * More information can be found here:
 * Guidelines on reproduction of notes and coins
 * Form to apply for permission to reproduce notes and coins

Kupang
Is the term "kupang" related to the keping used in northern Malaya until 1909? See the new articles Kelantan keping and Trengganu keping. Dove1950 12:39, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Images
I believe all these images will be deleted one day as their attribution is vague, and the uploader isn't responding to betacommandbot. Enlil Ninlil 04:06, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Unofficially
Who actually calls the ringgit the “Malaysian dollar,” where? —Wiki Wikardo 10:29, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

New link to Kijang Emas wiki added. Nikrashid (talk) 23:16, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Current status
Anyone thinks the current rise in Malaysian Ringgit value deserve a mention in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.54.216.6 (talk) 01:02, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Over use of non-free images
At the end of March 2011, I raised an issue regarding the heavy use of non-free images on numismatics articles at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Numismatics. Three weeks later, there's been no response. My intention is to remove much of the non-free content of coins/notes from this article for violating WP:NFCC #3a, requirement for minimal use, and WP:NFCC #8, since many/all of the non-free images are designs not specifically referred to in the text by externally sourced commentary. If you have concerns about this issue, your are invited to discuss it at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Numismatics. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 19:54, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Use of non-free images on this article
This article has been identified as containing an excessive quantity of non-free content. Per the Foundation's requirement to keep non-free media use minimal, and per Non-free content criteria #3, the non-free images on this article have been removed. Please note: If this is a list type article, please read the WP:NFLISTS guideline. If you wish to dispute this removal, it may be helpful to read WP:OVERUSE, as it answers a number of typical questions and responses to removals such as this. If after reading these, you still feel there is grounds for restoration of most or all of the media that have been removed, please post to Wikipedia talk:Non-free content.

 * The presence of a fair use rationale for this article on an image description page does not make it acceptable for a given use.
 * Blanket restoration of the non-free images that have been removed can and most likely will be reverted, with subsequent reporting action possible.
 * If some restoration is desired, careful consideration of exactly what non-free media to use must be made, paying special attention to WP:NFCC #1 and #8. In most cases non-free media needs to be tied directly to the prose of the article, most preferably with inline citations tying the discussion to secondary sources regarding the image per Verifiability.

Obverse and reverse of coins
I have changed the obverse and reverse description for the coins of all three series. Usually (and also for Malaysian coins), the side of the coin with the value is the reverse. This is confusing because normally the obverse doesn't change from denomination to denomination (I myself was confused as well). Here's two links from the Bank Negara Malaysia website to support that the side with the hibiscus and value is the reverse:
 * Ordinary uncirculated Coin Sets (OUCS) of the second series coins; the traditional Malay item sides are marked as "obverse"
 * The Third Series of Malaysian Coins, in the "Common Features" description
