GUIDELINE ON THE REPRODUCTION OF MALAYSIAN CURRENCY

INTRODUCTION
1. Section 27A of the Central Bank of Malaysia Act 1958 (CBA) states that “Except with the permission of the Bank, no person shall, in any size, scale or colour, use any photograph of or any drawing or design resembling any note or coin or part thereof, in any advertisement or on any merchandise or products which that person manufactures, sells, circulates or otherwise distributes”. Section 51(6) of the CBA states that “Any person who contravenes section 27A shall be guilty of an offence and shall on conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding five thousand ringgit”.
2. The purpose of this Guideline on the Reproduction of Malaysian Currency (Guideline) is to provide the criteria for any currency reproduction as well as the procedures for the submission of an application under section 27A of the CBA.
PROCEDURE
3. Any person who wishes to reproduce any Malaysian currency (notes and coins) for advertising or any other purpose is required to submit a written application to Bank Negara Malaysia (Bank) 7 (seven) working days prior to the proposed date of reproduction at the address below: -
Director
Currency Management and Operations Department
Bank Negara Malaysia
Jalan Dato’ Onn
50480 Kuala Lumpur.

4. The sample of notes or coins to be reproduced shall be attached with the application letter.

5. Until written permission of the Bank has been given, no person shall reproduce any Malaysian currency even if the conditions set out in this Guideline have been met.
CONDITIONS FOR THE REPRODUCTION OF NOTES
6. The Bank shall, subject to paragraph 12, give permission for the reproduction of notes if all of the following criteria are met:

6.1 Printed Media

(a) the reproduction of any note must not be the same size as the actual note. If it is to be smaller, it must be at most two-thirds as long and two-thirds as wide. If it is to be larger, it must be at least one and a half times as long and at least one and a half times as wide as the original size of the actual note. Any reproduction of a part of a note must meet the same conditions.

(b) the reproduction must show the note in its original design without any alteration unless specified otherwise in this Guideline.

(c) the reproduction must not distort the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong’s image (apart from enlargement, reduction or slanting).

(d) the reproduction must not be printed on watermark paper or other substrates similar to a genuine note.

(e) the reproduction must not be printed in loose form to avoid giving the impression that the reproduction is a genuine note.

(f) the reproduction must show the note in its original colour or in black and white.

(g) the Governor’s signature and the phrase “Wang Kertas Ini Sah Diperlakukan Dengan Nilai” on the note must be obliterated by folding, over-printing or some other method.

(h) the reproduction must be printed on one-side only to avoid giving the impression that the reproduction is a genuine note.

(i) the reproduction must include the word ‘SPECIMEN’ or ‘CONTOH’ which must be boldly printed from the bottom left corner to the top right corner across the face of a single note reproduced. The length of the word ‘SPECIMEN’ or ‘CONTOH’ must be not less than one third of the length of the reproduction and the width of such word must be not less than one-eighth of the width of the reproduction.

(j) the reproduction of overlapping notes is acceptable provided that the word ‘SPECIMEN’ or ‘CONTOH’ is printed on the uppermost or on the most prominent note in the manner specified in paragraph 6.1(i).
6.2 Electronic Media

6.2.1 Film and Television
The reproduction of notes on film and television must meet the condition specified in paragraph 6.1 (b) and (c).

6.2.2 Other Forms of Electronic Media Including Internet and CD-ROM
(a) the reproduction of notes on other forms of electronic media including the Internet and CDROM
must meet the conditions specified in paragraphs 6.1(b), (c), (i) and (j).

(b) in addition, if the media for the reproduction is the Internet, the visual of such reproduction must be in a standard resolution of 800 x 600 pixels.

6.3 Merchandise
The reproduction of notes on any merchandise or product must meet the condition specified in paragraph 6.1 (a), (b) and (c).
CONDITIONS FOR THE REPRODUCTION OF COINS
7. The Bank shall, subject to paragraph 12, give permission for the reproduction of coins in any advertisement or on any merchandise or product if all of the following criteria are met:

(a) the reproduction must not be printed on any material similar to a genuine coin; and

(b) the reproduction must be printed on one side only to avoid giving the impression that the reproduction is a genuine coin.

8. For the avoidance of doubt, a coin can be reproduced in its actual size or otherwise with or without the word ‘SPECIMEN’ or ‘CONTOH’.

OTHER CONDITIONS IN THE EVENT OF APPROVAL
9. With respect to reproduction of Malaysian currency on printed media, the permit number issued by the Bank must be printed on the bottom right side of the printed media.

10. The Bank’s approval shall be valid for one year from the date of approval.

11. Notwithstanding paragraph 10, the Bank may amend or revoke the approval at any time.

APPLICATION TO BE REJECTED
12. The Bank reserves the right to reject any application for the reproduction of notes or coins if the reproduction is:


(a) related to or associated with alcohol, cigarettes or other related forms;


(b) related to or associated with offensive context such as violence or pornography;


(c) related to or associated with any political content; or


(d) against public interest.
