About Guatemalan Quetzal (Q)
The Guatemalan Quetzal (GTQ, ISO 4217 code 320, symbol Q) is the official currency of the Republic of Guatemala — named after the Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno), the country's national bird, which was sacred to ancient Maya and Aztec civilizations and was used as currency in the form of its iridescent green tail feathers. Issued by the Banco de Guatemala (Banguat, est. 1946). Subdivided into 100 centavos. Banknotes: Q0.50 (rare), Q1, Q5, Q10, Q20, Q50, Q100, Q200 (the highest denomination, introduced 2009; current series features Guatemalan historical figures — Tecún Umán the K'iche' Maya hero who fought Spanish conquistador Pedro de Alvarado in 1524, Justo Rufino Barrios, Mariano Gálvez, Manuel Lisandro Barillas, Maria Chinchilla, Ramón Belejú, Andrés Curruchich); coins: 1 centavo, 5 centavos, 10 centavos, 25 centavos, 50 centavos, Q1. Guatemala is Central America's largest economy by population (~17 million) and the second-largest by GDP (~$95B). Major exports include coffee (the world's 10th-largest producer), bananas, sugar, palm oil, cardamom (the world's largest producer), textiles, and ethanol. Remittances from ~3 million Guatemalans in the US account for ~20% of GDP.
About Malaysian Ringgit (RM)
The Malaysian Ringgit (MYR, ISO 4217 code 458, symbol RM; historically 'Malaysian Dollar' until 1975) is the official currency of Malaysia, issued by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM, est. 1959).

Banknotes: RM1, RM5, RM10, RM20, RM50, RM100 (current series features King Tuanku Abdul Rahman portrait, traditional kites/wau, and Malaysian flora/fauna); coins: 5 sen, 10 sen, 20 sen, 50 sen (1 sen withdrawn from common circulation 2008). MYR was pegged to USD at RM3.80 per USD from September 1998 to July 2005 following the Asian Financial Crisis (Malaysia famously rejected IMF assistance and imposed capital controls under Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad). Since 2005 the ringgit floats against a basket. Malaysia is the world's 2nd-largest palm oil producer (after Indonesia), a major LNG exporter, and home to a significant Islamic-finance industry (the Kuala Lumpur stock exchange Bursa Malaysia and the Labuan IBFC offshore center). BNM targets price stability + sustainable economic growth.
