MALAYSIA THIRD SERIES 10 SEN 2014
2014 10 Sen The Third Series (M3S) of Malaysian Coins
This morning, while doing my marketing with my beloved wife in Mydin Hyper Store at USJ, I received my first copy of my 2014 Malaysia Third Series (M3S) coin, the Distinctively Malaysia series . Is a piece of 10 sen coin. I don't see other denomination yet.
The third series of coins were announced on 25 July 2011, first being issued as commemorative coins to mark their release in early 2012. The third series carry a theme named "Distinctively Malaysia" and are inspired from motifs of flora and fauna drawn from various cultures in Malaysia to "reflect the diversity and richness of Malaysia's national identity". The denominations issued are 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents.
On 24 October 2011, Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Donald Lim named Poogsan Corporation of South Korea as the series' coin suppliers and the coins are minted at the Bank Negara Mint in Shah Alam.
According to Lim, costs in producing the coins will be reduced by 49% due to the change in metal composition. Other changes in the series include the diameter, the colour on the 20- and 50-cent coins (from silver to yellow) and a redesign on the obverse (featuring different motifs for each denomination), fourteen dots symbolizing the thirteen states and the collective Federal Territories, and five horizontal lines indicating the five principles of Rukunegara.
