1942 Series - Japanese Government Dollar in Malaya and Borneo

The Japanese government-issued dollar was a form of currency issued by Imperial Japan during the Japanese occupation of Singapore, Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak and Brunei between 1942 and 1945. The currency was also referred informally (and with more than a trace of contempt) as banana money (Malay: duit pisang), named as such because of the motifs of banana trees on 10 dollar banknotes. The Japanese dollar was in widespread use within the occupied territories where the previous currency became a scarcity. The currency were referred to as "dollars" and "cents" like its predecessors, the Straits dollar, Malayan dollar, Sarawak dollar and British North Borneo dollar.

MALAYSIA (The First Series)

Bank Negara Malaysia began issuing currency notes in June 1967. These banknotes were in five denominations: $1, $5, $10, $50 and $100. A $1,000 denomination note was issued on 2 September 1968. 

The basic design of these banknotes was common across all denominations. The obverse depicted a portrait of His Majesty the first King, together with the words `Bank Negara Malaysia’. The words `legal tender’, the face value and the signature of Tun Ismail bin Mohamed Ali, the first Malaysian appointed as the Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia, appeared on the obverse of these banknotes. The reverse had the Bank Negara Malaysia logo, with a background of geometrical designs. The banknotes’ security features included a tiger’s head watermark on the left and a security thread on the right.  Source: BNM
