Bank Negara Money Museum
Dr Zeti touring the Knowing Nusantara: Money That
Made The Region exhibition.
BANK Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery’s
latest exhibition is titled, “Knowing Nusantara: Money
That Made The Region”.
The exhibition, which was launched by Bank Negara
Malaysia governor Tan Sri Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz at
Sasana Kijang, Kuala Lumpur, explores the Malay
Archipelago’s history through currency-related
objects.
It focuses on the currencies of Malaysia, Indonesia,
Singapore and Brunei, along with their long-standing
links with various continents in the world.
Visitors to the gallery will be able to view money
produced locally and from other parts of the world,
along with items salvaged from shipwrecks.
A special section showcasing items salvaged from
shipwrecks, which are useful sources of information
on the money that was in circulation in the past.
The Nusantara’s development is explained by
connections that began in distant regions such as
Rome and Persia, and continued with the early
kingdoms of the Malay Archipelago and developed
along with the expansion of trade, exploration and
colonisation.
In her speech, Dr Zeti explained that money had
taken many forms over the millennia, while our
region had seen greater diversity than most.

Nusantara Region.
“Evolution is an intrinsic part of the nature of money
— coins have been melted down, misplaced or
sometimes incorporated into other items such as
jewellery, while bank notes have been destroyed.
“We are left with shipwrecks as some of the most
useful sources of information on the money that was
in circulation in our history,” said Dr Zeti.
The exhibition will be held until Dec 26 at Level 2,
Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery.
“Nusantara was at the centre of this international
network, leaving us with a diverse inheritance of
numismatic material,” she said.
Bank Negara Museum And Art Gallery
A museum on money established by the country’s
central bank, the Bank Negara Malaysia located in the
Sasana Kijang Complex. Here you can learn all about
money through interactive and computerised games,
as well as interesting facts and information on money.
There is an Economics Gallery, Islamic Finance Gallery,
Numismatics Gallery and Children’s Gallery. You will
also be able to view the Central Banks art collection of
renowned Malaysian contemporary artists in the Art
Gallery.
Guided tours can also be arranged for groups of
visitors from schools, universities and non-profit
organisation.
However, she noted that much of the physical
evidence of this global trade had been lost.
These rarely seen currencies are from the collection of
renowned numismatist William Barrett and Bank
Negara Malaysia.
Bank Negara Money Museum
On 5 April 1989, the Money Museum was
inaugurated by the Datin Seri Dr Siti Hasmah
Mohamed Ali, in conjunction with the 30th
Anniversary of Bank Negara Malaysia. The Museum
boasts of an interesting display of old Malaysian
currency, commemorative and rare coins, together
with foreign currencies. Here the progression of
currency is represented through various artefacts,
medals, tokens, coins and banknotes, which were
used earlier for trade exchange.
Bank Negara Money Museum, called Muzium
Matawang Bank Negara in Malay, celebrates the
evolution of money at different times in the history
of Malaysia. Located within the Central Bank on Jalan
Dato’ Onn in Kuala Lumpur, the Bank Negara Money
Museum has loads of things to exhibit and please
almost every numismatist.
In fact, a casual onlooker would also find this display
interesting enough to stop and look for a while. The
museum’s main purpose is to act as a depository for
the earlier and modern currency of Malaysia.
Most of the coins and rare items on display have been
obtained through auctions, donations and direct
purchases from collectors. The Museum, itself, is a
work of art. Its elegant interiors, which range from the
elaborate carvings of the 100-year-old teak at door,
panels, shelf designs to impressive lighting, make it all
the more fascinating. Thus, besides being a great
attraction, the Money Museum is a great place to
gather knowledge about the history and evolution of
Malaysia coins and currency notes.

The banknotes collection.
The Foundation is the Paper Money Museum, one of
the worlds largest collections of banknotes, since the
18th century to the present day. Seeing these old
bills, it is interesting to imagine what one could have
bought in the past with those little pieces of paper.
Coin Cabinets in the Ashmolean Money Gallery Strong Room
The Ashmolean is more than a tourist attraction. Here, young archaeologists, historians and
numismatists are trained. This room is the place for numismatic studies. It is located next to
the strong room, where the extensive coin collection is stored under conservationally ideal
conditions.
Among the banknotes, there is a special emphasis on
some counterfeit bills made by Alves dos Reis, an
infamous Portuguese scammer, that shocked the
whole country in 1926. The Foundation has a special
affection for financial history, and their educational
services are very targeted to the didactic and
pedagogical actions in this matter.

Stories on Money
This exhibition invites visitors to explore the development and meaning behind American coinage and currency.
“Stories on Money” demonstrates the interplay among people, money and history, from the earliest times to the
present day. The main section of the exhibition, "America's Money," shows what money looked like in Colonial
America and at pivotal times, including the Gold Rush, Great Depression and in the current era. Visitors will
compare the coin designs of the 19th century with those produced during the renaissance of American coinage in
the early 20th century. The section called “The Power of Liberty,” presents an array of coins from the United States
and the world depicting Liberty, the feminine personification of freedom; coins with real and mythological
women are also featured. The exhibition draws from the Museum's National Numismatic Collection, which
consists of more than 1.5 million objects, including coins, medals and paper currency and preserves the role of
money in economic history.
The Ashmolean Money Gallery
The Royal Mint also helped by making an enlarged version of the Oxford crown of Charles I, an
interactive feature of the gallery. An electrotype copy of the genuine specimen in the Royal Mint
Museum’s collection was scanned and the enlarged version was cut on one of the engraving
machines before being passed to the Ashmolean’s team of designers.

History Of Money
The history of money concerns the development of means of carrying out transactions involving a physical medium of exchange. Money is any clearly identifiable object of value that is generally accepted as payment
for goods and services and repayment of debts within a market or which is legal tender within a country.
Many things have been used as medium of exchange in markets including, for example, livestock and sacks of cereal grain (from which the Shekel is derived) – things directly useful in themselves, but also sometimes
merely attractive items such as cowry shells or beads were exchanged for more useful commodities. Precious metals, from which early coins were made, fall into this second category.
Money
Money is historically an emergent market phenomenon establishing a commodity money, but nearly all contemporary money systems are based on fiat money.[4] Fiat money, like any check or note of debt,
is without intrinsic use value as a physical commodity. It derives its value by being declared by a government to be legal tender; that is, it must be accepted as a form of payment within the boundaries of
the country, for "all debts, public and private".[6] Such laws in practice cause fiat money to acquire the value of any of the goods and services that it may be traded for within the nation that issues it.
The money supply of a country consists of currency (banknotes and coins) and bank money (the balance held in checking accounts and savings accounts). Bank money, which consists only of records
(mostly computerized in modern banking), forms by far the largest part of broad money in developed countries.
