18.02.2012 | 全新硬幣

[Volume 7 Issue 2, #1328]
全新一寬嘅硬幣, 大家見過沒呀?? 我集齊5,10,20仙喇, 唯獨50仙就無緣見到.. 其實第一次收到新硬幣, 第一反應就係「點解俾游戲機token我??!!」, 再睇真啲「做乜咁似歐羅嘅??!!」.. 全新設計的確係細啲輕啲, 唔理係為咗方便攜帶, 定係偷工減料, 都係一樣咁用架啦~~
have you all seen the new series of coins?? i have all 5,10,20 sen coins but still have not seen 50 sen yet.. when i first got them as change, my first reaction was "why am i given arcade tokens??!!", took a closer look then and i asked myself "why are they so euro coins??".. well, the new design is smaller and lighter, not gonna comment if the rationale behind is for convenience or cost-cutting, we still have to use them, correct??

    Now it's tough to differentiate by putting hand into pocket only. 50 cents and 20 cents almost the same size. What a unfriendly idea to change :(

      I agree. It is easier when all the coins have different size & weight. If cannot see, have to "raba-raba" the coins properly to know its value.

      Agree, that was my first reaction upon receiving the 20 cent. Was wondering how am I going to differentiate the coins if I do purchase at "darker" place? Pasar malam or those night stall standing at kaki lima?

      An inch bigger? That could play havoc on some wallet sizes, couldn't they? Oh dear!

      Hope our Malaysian new notes will not create that problem.

  17. lina18/2/12 1:13 PM

    Complain also, I guess we just have to accept it and use it until the time comes when the powers that be suddenly decided to discontinue the coin for whatever reason and change to another design. Right?

    the 50 cents is around our current 20 cents or even smaller.

    My first time getting it, I actually returned it to the shop keeper, and said "wrong coin!" coz i thought it was some other country's currency

      @Isaac what you stated above is correct because 50cent and 20cent is same color and almost same size, that is so headache when give them to counter especially in 7-11. Lucky my place 7-11 cashier very friendly and sort my confusion out hehe

      Not the 7-11 at my place. :(

      Better be careful there, I suppose. And when paying for the "babu roti" too. Sometimes buy bread too early in the morning or late evening, too dark cannot see properly. ;p

    First of all, I would like to say Thank You to Malaysia because Malaysia itself is down-grading the coin thickness and quality. As in Down-Grading our Malaysian Faces which is make us more SHAME when some other people from other country compare our coin with their COINS!

    RM 5 is not enough? Need to down-grade the coin summore. Walao so cham meh Malaysia . . .

    So Far . . . In my workplace, I haven't receive new coins from my customer yet. Else need to take note and different shade it.

    The best thing is, NEW 50cent and NEW 20cent is SAME COLOR and almost same size. This is why I hate this so much and it is like down grading Malaysia punya Muka . . .

    I think I saw Thai and Singapore coins before and their sizes are almost the same as our old 10cent and 20cent. Now our sizes have down-graded and get smaller.... Sad case, because it reminds me on the country currency exchange rate, our currency getting 'smaller' too.
