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). Subdivided into 100 sen. 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Abdul Rahman portrait, traditional kites/wau, and Malaysian flora/fauna); coins: 5 sen, 10 sen, 20 sen, 50 sen (1 sen withdrawn from common circulation 2008).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.

About Canadian Dollar (C$)

The Canadian Dollar (CAD, ISO 4217 code 124, symbol C$) is the official currency of Canada, issued by the Bank of Canada (est. 1934). Subdivided into 100 cents.

The 1ยข penny was withdrawn from circulation 2013 (cash transactions rounded to nearest 5ยข). CAD is closely correlated with crude oil prices โ€” Canada is the world's 4th-largest oil producer (~5 million bpd) and the largest US import source.
