The country's currency is ringgit (RM), which consists of 100 sen (or cents). In circulation you can see banknotes with denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 ringgit. All of them are decorated with a portrait of the first supreme ruler of Malaysia, Tuanku Abdul Rahman. On the reverse side - architectural structures, means of transport, production scenes, etc.

Literally from Malay, the word "ringgit" is translated as "jagged". Such a funny name has been preserved since the time of walking in the country of silver Spanish dollars with a dentate edge (16-17 centuries).

To date, for 1 USD, give 3, 4 ringgit, for 1 EUR - about 5 ringgit.
