the answer from bank negara...

remember the previous blog about the torn rm5 note... i have got an answer from bank negara...

Mr. Lee,

It is still a legal tender, but to avoid any further rejection by vendors
or other businesses, please come to BNMLINK at Ground Floor, Block D, BNM
Kuala Lumpur to exchange your RM5.00 to a new note.

Secondly, as for the 'dirty' RM1.00 note the advice would be the same as
above, but if the handwriting is on Agong's face, the RM1.00 is no longer
a legal tender.

Thank you
