Don’t we all just love our colorful ringgit? It’s not just about the cool colors, but also how neat and tidy the details are embedded on our banknotes. And guess what? Even foreigners are falling in love with them.
In a viral video, a foreigner was seen enthusiastically praising the appearance of Malaysian ringgit. He couldn’t help but express his admiration for how each note has its own color and size, making them easy to recognise.
Foreigner falls in love with M’sian Ringgit
The video shared by Traveling Solo Logs on their Facebook page has immediately grabbed the attention of netizens.
In the video clip, the foreigner, wearing a black t-shirt, was visibly thrilled as he shared his admiration for Malaysian banknotes.
He started off mentioning how he liked how clean the bills are, appreciating the colorful designs that come in different sizes and noting that the notes are easily identifiable without any confusion.
“I see the color and I already know what bill it is,” he said, mentioning that it took him about 4 to 5 days to get used to it.
Throughout the video, he showed every type of bill, from RM50 to RM1, highlighting the cleanliness and precision of each note.
Moreover, he compared Malaysian Ringgit to US currency, pointing out that the bills have the same green color and are the same size, which makes them look alike and hard to identify.
Additionally, the interviewer, also a foreigner, demonstrated a trick with the RM5 note. Despite being crumpled, it retained its original look due to its unique plastic-like texture, without any wrinkles.
It is clearly seen that the foreigner is so fascinated with the Malaysian Ringgit notes in the video.
M’sian netizens agrees as well
This video instantly garnered the attention of Malaysian netizens, receiving over 165k views with two hundred comments praising and explaining some matters about the things the foreigner asked in the video.
“Yeah, compared to other countries’ currencies, our money is indeed beautiful. It’s shiny, smooth, and has some parts that are transparent. Isn’t it pretty?”
In the video, the foreigner was curious about the person on the note, and Malaysian netizens jumped in with the answer right away.
“The figure on Malaysian Ringgit is Tuanku Abdul Rahman, our first Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King of Malaysia).”
Another netizen also mentioned an exciting aspect of our ringgit note, the Braille feature.
“I’m not sure if you realise this, but Malaysian Ringgit bills have braille for blind people at one corner, in addition to numbers that you can feel with your fingers to recognise the bill’s value rather than relying solely on its size.”
