Consists of 100 sen. Banknotes in circulation are in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 ringgit. All banknotes feature a portrait of Malaysia's first Supreme Ruler, Tuanku Abdul Rahman, on the obverse. The word ringgit is sometimes also used in Malaysia to refer to the Singapore or Brunei dollar. On June 12, 1967, the Malaysian dollar, issued by the new central bank, Bank Negara Malaysia (the Central Bank of Malaysia), replaced the Malaya and British Borneo dollars in circulation. The new currency retained all denominations of its predecessor, except for the $10,000 denomination, and retained the color scheme of the old dollars. In the following decades, the banknotes underwent minor changes, including the withdrawal of the M$500 and M$1000 notes from circulation in the 1990s. The $ or M$ sign was not replaced by the RM sign until the 1990s, while the international MYR sign is very widely used.
