Today I was shown these interesting imitation Malaysian bank notes covered in real gold. All the notes are represented but they are not direct imitations, perhaps a better word would be "homages".
These notes apparently contain 2 grams of gold although the karat is unclear. When we weighed the group of notes the total weight was 18.1 grams. This means there should be 16.1 grams of filler probably a polymer given their robust yet flexible nature.
The makers of these notes have taken pains to ensure that the images are not exact copies of the real bank notes to prevent any allegations of counterfeiting. You will notice that instead of saying Ringgit Malaysia it says Ringir Melhysia! 🤣
Here is the entire set:
These notes came wrapped in an envelope that is usually used to present gifts at the ending of the Muslim month of fasting. Here are the other side of the set:
One thing is clear is that there may be some gold in these notes but surely the manufacturers made money so the quality is open to question. However I have never seen anything like this before and couldn't help taking photos and sharing them with you. 😉
