Taking the term 'big money' to a whole new level.
Yes, Malaysia has the biggest banknote in the world, with a measurement of 22cm X 37cm. The banknote was one of two commemorative banknotes issued by Bank Negara Malaysia in December 2017 in conjunction with the 60th anniversary of the Signing of the Federation of Malaya Independence Agreement
According to BNM, the commemorative banknotes honour the Council of Rulers’ contribution towards the realisation of Malaya’s independence on Aug 31, 1957. The banknote also made its way into the Guinness Book of Records and the record is held by Malaysia since December 2017. The obverse side of the RM600 and RM60 notes shows 15 different monarchs and heads of states circling the royal throne. The reverse side portrays the nine rulers signing the Federation of Malaya Independence Agreement, the silhouette of the first prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, as well as the four significant landmarks in the country: the National Palace, Perdana Putra, the Parliament building, and the Palace of Justice.
