During the minting process,the feeder finger that supplies blank planchets to the press, only fit to holds the actual size (or smaller sizes) of planchets for the intended denomination,any planchets bigger in size then the feeder finger can fit will be rejected.

There are instances there claimed to be Die Test and Die Trial coinage.

Tallies Or Checks.(Dickson Niew Collection)



Queen Victoria.One Cent.Obverse.

Tallies or Checks are issued by companies or individuals and they used them as work check, redemption tokens,coupons, tickets or even as your identification tools.
For instant, they pay to the coolies at the harbour as work check tally for each separate carry of coal from stack to vessel or vice versa, they use it as proof of purchased of a ticket to board a ferry, they use it as a  coupon to redeem a packet of sugar in the estate,or they use it as identification tool to enter an illegal gaming center or as a recognition tool to proof that you are a member of their group,e.g.the secret societies.(Kongsi-kongsi Gelap).

In those days,metal minting and printing in small quantity is very expensive,so conveniently they used existing coinage to counterstamped or countermarked it to make a different.Numbers and alphabets are incused deeply countermarked on the obverse or reverse,some rare tallies were counterstamped on both the obverse and reverse.

Rarity:RRR



Malaysia.1973.50 Cents.Wrong Stock Errors.Edge.(ST Ngoh Collection)

 Photo:Incused "BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA" was struck on a reeded/milled edge 50 cents planchet.

A coin struck on a planchet created for another denomination or foreign planchet.These are among the most popular of error types and command good premiums.Even more desirable when the planchet used is of a different colour than the intended planchet.



.Malaysia.1973.50 Cents. Circulated.Reverse. Weight:9.30gm. (ST Ngoh Collestion)


Through out the years,the Kilang Wang Negera (KL Royal Mint) has contracted to strike coins for many foreign nations and sometimes these foreign planchets get stuck in the "tote bins" which are used to transport planchets to the coining presses.On Malaysia coins this can only occur on planchets that are of the same size or smaller than the denomination being struck.
