All about Malaysian currency

How to save money for your Malaysian adventure

Here are some tips to help make the most of your adventure:

  • Travel during off-peak seasons (November to March) for lower prices on flights and accommodations. These months are quieter, offering more affordable options and fewer tourists, especially before the high season starts in April.
  • Dining out? Try budget-friendly local food like nasi lemak, char kway teow, and roti canai. These delicious and authentic dishes are widely available at hawker stalls and local eateries without breaking the bank.
  • Public transportation in Malaysia is affordable. Use local buses, LRT, and monorail systems, which are budget-friendly ways to get around cities like Kuala Lumpur.
  • Don’t miss free attractions like KLCC Park in Kuala Lumpur, the Cameron Highlands, or a stroll along George Town in Penang to enjoy the local culture and natural beauty without spending much.
  • Convert AUD to MYR with Travel Money Oz to get the best exchange rate and make every Ringgit go further on your travels.

Malaysian Ringgit notes and coins

The Malaysian Ringgit operates almost identically to the dollar (in fact, some stores may even label prices in Malaysia as dollars), divided up into 100 sens. 

All Malaysian coins are in sens, worth 5, 10, 20 and 50 apiece. Malaysian notes are set at 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 ringgits each.

Fun facts about Malaysian banknotes

  • Malaysia’s currency features national leaders and iconic landmarks like the Petronas Twin Towers and National Mosque.
  • The coins are decorated with symbols of nature and heritage, including the hibiscus (which is Malaysian national flower), and the Rafflesia flower (also known as the ‘stinking corpse lily’ or ‘monster flower’– the largest flower in the world!).

Travel Money Trivia - Malaysian edition

  • Most Malaysians refer to the currency in its proper terms, but certain people will call it ‘dollars’ just for convenience, and some northern places like Kelantan still call it the riyal.
  • A polymer 50 ringgit note was released to commemorate the 1998 Commonwealth Games, but it was so rare that it’s now a collector’s item – so hold onto it if you find one!
  • The first generation of Malaysian banknotes are today worth far more than their printed value – a whole set was sold at auction for £100,000 in 2007.
