MALAYSIA -Two notes commemorating the 60th Year of Signing of the Federation of Malaya Independence Agreement. The denominations of the notes are RM60 and RM600. In addition to this, a RM60 3-in-1 uncut sheet is also included in this issue. I do not have these notes yet as they are schedule to release from 25.01.2018. However, I thought I posted this here now as I personally find the story behind this may be interested to some collectors. I will update the site with the scans of the actual notes as and when I get them. I am hoping to get all 3 issues. These commemorative notes are printed on hybrid materials.
