About the Malaysian Ringgit
The Malaysian Ringgit (symbol: RM; code: MYR) is the official currency of Malaysia, issued by the Central Bank of Malaysia. Each ringgit is divided into 100 sen. The word 'ringgit' means 'jagged' in Malay, originally referring to the serrated edges of Spanish silver dollars used in the region. Malaysia's currency reflects its position as a major exporter of palm oil, electronics, and natural resources.
