銀行今起須回收
國行發指南．防假幣湧現
（吉隆坡6日訊）明日起，所有銀行必須為公眾免費將1令吉硬幣兌換成紙幣，且必須悉數全收，包括存款。

換言之，不管公眾提著多少數額的1令吉硬幣到商業銀行兌換，都可取得同值紙鈔。

銀行業消息指出，公眾不必為真假硬幣感到疑惑，他們只要在期限內（明日起至12月6日之間）拿1令吉硬幣到銀行更換，銀行都有“義務”為公眾免費兌換成同額紙幣，或免費為他們存入戶頭。

“換言之，你拿總額100令吉到商業銀行去，他們（銀行）都必須免費兌換100令吉紙鈔給你，你帶1000令吉去，他們就必須兌換1000令吉給你。”

國家銀行昨日發出文告宣佈，1令吉硬幣12月7日起報廢，引起民眾爭相往銀行兌換，當中更有不少人所持的假幣被沒收，本報更接到不少電話投訴。

為何會出現這種情況，這位銀行界消息人士指出，這是因為配合1令吉硬幣12月7日報廢啟動的兌換期，是明日（7日）才啟動，相信有關銀行今日仍根據舊有作業制度處理所致。

“意思是說，公眾若明日才前往兌換的話，就不會有問題。”

does this means that even we got the fake coin,
we could also exchange the coins into the real RM1 dollar note?
erm... then this would be great.

1. Use MSN emotions but don't distort your message. Do change the shortcut key whenever you add an emotion. It's not fun to figure out your word puzzle.
2. If you are a stranger, please introduce yourself.
3. Don't ask for my picture if you don't even want to show yours.
4. If you are a stranger, do not ask for my phone number.
5. If you start a conversation, please don't repeat the word "oic" or reply with a smiley for n times.
6. If you have nothing to say, don't ask me "why are you so quiet". That's because I have nothing to say too.
7. If I am in "away" mode, I'm either not around my computer or doing some other stuff, so I might not be able to reply your message.
8. If I am in "busy" mode, I'm either too busy or not in the mood of chatting.
9. For (7) and (8), message me only if you have something to say.
10. (7) and (8) are excluded if I start the conversation.
11. It's ok to nudge once, it's rude to nudge 5, 6, 7, 8 times.
12. I can't stand ugly MSN emotions.
===============================
got this post on my friend's blog.
sometimes i think it's fun to know other people on msn.
but it's weird because i rarely get people whom i do not know to add me.

i have a very very long list of poeple on my msn but there is only a few poeple whom i always chat with.
we just chat regardless whether the person is busy or not.
hehe
and for me,
my status is always busy,
but if ur brave enough, and when i'm around.
i would be more than willing to reply you.

last time i used to keep a lot of RM1 coin
i used to have about 200 of the RM1 coin.
it's just one of the ways for me to save my money.
but since last year or begining of this year,
my bf told me that there are a lot of fake RM1 coin.
so we decided regardless of anything happened,
we just started to spend and spend all the RM1 coin,
since we could not differentiate whether the money is real or fake.

i believe there are a lot of people who are keeping all the RM1 coin.
so now have to return to the bank or used it in the money market before it becomes unacceptable.
