Harini saya nak story sikit tntg sejarah, koleksi & kontroversi wang Malaysia kita iaitu Ringgit.

PS : boleh jadi rujukan kpd Newbies Numis.
Kah!!
Sebelum mula ini sikit Fast Fact.

Numismatic ialah orang yg suka kumpul duit. Tak kisah duit lama atau baru, dalam atau luar negara asalkan duit. Menabung duit bukan dikira Numis.

Philatelic pula ialah orang suka kumpul setem. Jika setem hasil tak tahu apa status.

Kah!!
Nama Ringgit maksud "bergerigi" iaitu sisi bergerigi yang terdapat pada wang perak dolar Sepanyol yang digunakan secara meluas pd zaman penjajahan Portugis sekitar abad ke-16 & ke-17.
Ada juga kata bila koin tu dipecah 8 ia bergerigi. Sbb tu dipanggil Piece of Eight (8)

#ModiXisummit
Folks, I don’t have time to write an article, so here’s my two-cents on the upcoming #ModiXisummit (informal) in Wuhan. I’m seeing a lot of brouhaha being played by the Indian media, think-tankies regarding the “reset”, “thaw” in relations.
1)The meeting draws on the similar format of reset and informal meets organised by Xi for Obama in 2013 and the Mar-a-lago summit hosted for Xi by Trump last year. Both have failed to bring any kind of reset. Instead there is a trade war looming between China and USA now
2)no formal/informal talks can belie the deep distrust both India and China have for each other, deeply drilled through history and contemporary strategic realities. The summit, while attempting “reset” after Doklam might at best be talking shop, garden walks and photo-ops
