RM5 Uncut Banknotes - New SeriesThe new green RM5 denomination note issued in September 1999 depicts the "Wawasan 2020" theme of the current development Malaysian currency note series which reflects Malaysia's economic development and achievement towards a fully developed country. The construction sector has been selected as the design motif of the RM5 note, the fifth denomination issued in the current series (new series).
The obverse of the new RM5 note retains the dominant intaglio potrait of the First Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the distinctive anticopy square in the centre of the note. The predominant design emphasises the construction sector. This is represented by landmark buildings such as KLIA, Petronas Twin Towers and a geographical map bearing the landmark symbols representing Putrajaya and Cyberjaya. The security features in the note include the security thread with the repeated "BNM RM5" text, three-dimensional watermark potrait, anticopy feature known as "PEAK (R)" and security fibres in the paper.

It is the second denomination of the second series (old series).
The obverse of the RM5 note bears the potrait of the First Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Hello, I would like to ask something on the RM5 uncut notes.
From your description, i saw '(M70.dd) 5 Ringgit. A pair of 3 - Note uncut sheets, new and existing series (M60e) with identical serial numbers, but different prefix (20,000 sheets) - Standard Catalogue of Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei Coin and Paper Money.'
Recently, i met up with a pair of 3 in 1 uncut sheets of RM5 and the prefix and numbers for the new and old series are totally different.
Does that mean the set is of fake one?
Thank you.
Hi, thanks on your interest. To my knowledge, the sets should have identical number. That is the purpose of the set.
But in some cases, we may find some collection that has been mixed or someone trying to re-produce the collection.
My advice is, make sure the notes are genuine. You can tell by touching (the old paper notes has the 'touch') and it comes is a holder.
Thanks.
