New RM50 Note
Written by ImagesLab.net on Sunday, December 23, 2007
Bank Negara Malaysia recently announced the new RM50 note with enhanced security features supposedly a measure to cut down on counterfeit notes in the market (as usual when they come out with new notes) and new design. The new design on the note represents Malaysia's 50th Anniversary of Independence.
The new RM50 notes will be available starting 30th January 2008 onwards. For those collectors, there will be a special packaging available for sale at RM60 per set starting from 26th December 2007 onwards (while stock lasts and limited to a few states only).
If you guys are observant enough, you should notice that the current RM50 note shows technology, and some achievements of our country whereas the new note shows oil palm trees and songket design, hmm... seriously, it's like taking a step backwards (I really didn't like it moreover its colors are a slight bit similar to that of the RM1 note except for the gold edges) Though it's just my individual opinion and I definitely do not mean to pass my sole judgment on the design of the new note. Well here's an answer if you were to ask me why? (take a good look at this design below)
Don't you think that these designs are way cooler, nicer and undeniably more "in"?
The best design I've ever seen so far was the Commonwealth Games special limited edition RM50 note which includes our country's mega structures like KLCC, KL Tower and of course the Bukit Jalil Stadium. Let's just look forward to an even better design the next time the notes face yet another revision. Malaysia Boleh right?
