I was told there were counterfeits notes circulating in the market.On my recent trip to Singapore,I was lucky to find two pieces in uncirculated condition.I am still puzzled why and for what reasons, someone wanted to counterfeit such a low value notes?

Why the small denominations questioned the choice to be counterfeit banknotes in the past ?, I think at that time, 5 cents was able to buy nasi lemak + coffee. It's just paper. Unlike nowaday , today 50 sen counterfeit coins is all around among us, but the question is the same, what can we buy for 50 sen today?

"Dot" on coin is a die variety error and can happen on coins from all years.

Hi Aw Yong,
ReplyDeletePay attention on the colour, details and sharpness of the notes.
Hello sifu, recently I came across with a 1941 50 cent Malaya banknotes with missing colour on the observe and center of the banknote paper . To be more clear, the missing colour is located under the "fifty cent" denomination. The one with the abstract. The abstract is there but the colorful colour is not. So I just wandering if this banknote issued is an error or just another counterfeit? Thanks sifu. - Joe
