Will Iraqi Dinar Go North?

2009-09-27T06:56:00.003+08:00

Much have speculated about the Iraqi Dinar during and post US invasion of Iraq and the prosecution of the late Saddam Hussein. Based on the exchange rate as at 26th September 2009, 1 USD equals 1,170 IQD. This rate is still very much low than expected. Nobody knows for sure when the floatation of IQD is going to take place.

Public acceptance on FX070707

2008-09-25T11:03:00.003+08:00

"FX070707 Numismatic Society of Malaysia is now accepted by the public." says Ir. Mohammad Jamal who is the President. The idea of forming the society was mooted by Ir. Mohammad and Mohd Hatta, the Vice President. Surprisingly, they were both strangers before but it was the common hobby that brought them together.

Clement Pung, the youngest member of society

2008-09-22T10:16:00.005+08:00

On 21 September 2008, Clement Pung became the latest and youngest member of the society. I highly salute his father, Mr Pung, for his determination to expose numismatic hobby to his children at the very early age. I met Mr Pung in Ramadhan 2006 in Bandar Sungai Long and coincidentally, we met again 2 years later in Ramadhan 2008 at the same place. When I met him that night, I noticed that he had gained some weight and I teased him that he must have had a good time in international waters. Pung is a sailor who sails around the world from port to port. His exposures to world is highly invaluable. Listening to his work experience and numismatic stories will definitely drop you jaw. Pung and I share the common views toward money .... money is not real. "Do not chase for money as it will fade away. Instead, chase for success and money will follow you", says Dr. Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize Winner and Founder of Grameen Bank, Bangladesh.

We ended our discussion around 11:30pm that night. Surprisingly, the restaurant owner also became interested and we planned to have 2009 meeting at the same place with more new members. Pung will be sailing off on 5 October 2008 and will be back to Malaysia in April 2009. My best wishes to him in his journey toward endless search for truth in life.

amir and his first collection

2008-08-29T12:47:00.003+08:00

amir hazif is the eldest of 4 siblings. I wanted him to cultivate the interest in numismatic so that he could understand the creation and evolution of money. In January 2008, we lined-up in the Central Bank of Malaysia at 8am in the morning just to get a new issue of RM50 banknote. As each person was allowed to buy a piece each, we had to queue twice to get 4 pieces of RM50. There was also a group of Bangladeshi factory workers of 35-40 nos. unboarding a blue factory bus and lined-up to get new notes. Later I learned that it was the factory owner, an avid banknote collector, who instructed his workers to buy a piece each from the bank ...... ha .. ha .. ha

money is everywhere ......

2008-08-29T12:34:00.004+08:00

there is money around you. Money is only a creation and does not exist in civilised world. One has to turn back the time and understand the human evolution, economy development etc. to understand the money creation

The Value Of 1 Cent

2008-08-16T16:59:00.006+08:00

1 cent coins have been in circulation for many years until late 2007 when feasibility studies revealed that the actual production costs eg. from mines exploration, mining, production of coins exceeded the face value of 1 cent coin itself. The actual value was 4.5 cents. Central Bank of Malaysia (Bank Negara Malaysia) then decided to abolish 1 cents in the market. As the Vice President of the Society, I was given an honor to make a public statement in a local newspaper in parallel to the BNM announcement.

Mother of All Banknotes

2008-08-10T11:03:00.007+08:00

This is a 1931 Straits Settlement, King George V, 1 dollar circulated banknote. This is a piece of printing art. Why ... imagine back in 1931 when camera and sophisticated printing technology did not exist. Highly skilled crafstmen were hired to produce intricate and very fine metal moulds just to make banknotes. The value was not on the face of the note but in the processes and end products, instead. So, any taker for this beauty at RM3,888?

Article In Local Daily

2008-08-08T23:57:00.006+08:00

This article appeared in The STAR newspaper in 2006 about my hobby. Local dailies were still the best means to spread information as they covered wide range of readers especially the older ages who were not very much in ICT.

Society meeting

2008-08-08T22:38:00.007+08:00

It all started from an idea. An article about my hobby in banknotes collection was published in The STAR daily in 2006. Since then, banknote collectors from as far as Perlis and Sarawak contacted me and we became friends. My circle of friends was expanding until Mohammad Jamal (in red) suggested that we form a society. We set our first meeting in August 2007 in Kelana Jaya and the rest was history.

Registration of Society

2008-04-13T10:48:00.003+08:00

I am currently in the process of legalising the society with the regulatory bodies. The paperwork is tremendous ..... anyhow I need start from a point or else my idea will not be materialised.
