 |
| "Crocodile shaped ingots were associated with the strength and of the crocodile, said to able to attract TIN to a new mine. " |

 The first impression that I had towards the museum is It looks like a high class Hotel. No doubt. Very relaxing and peaceful environment. There were 4 main area that I had visited, the most entertaining area would be the Kids Gallery and Art Gallery. The most curious display would be the Money TUnnel. I wonder how they put all the money inside. hahaha Overall the learning experience is really inviting and engaging. However, the installation of interactive media in the historical and Currency gallery are less attractive than Kid's Gallery. And I hope there are some installation in Art Gallery too. I think the net generation would share to their friends like I did. I did shared my experience to my family and housemate on that day. I shared about the interactive media and technology that the museum had used. At first, I still thought it would be a boring trip but turned out to be quite awesome. Oh, I also share the art form and pieces that I really like. That was the area I stayed for a longer period compare to others. 5 Questions: 1st: What caused the change from System Barter to Notes Exchange? 2nd: Why Bank Malaysia changing the design of the notes from 4th Series to 5th Series and Who is the designer? 3rd: Where the money process? 4th: For 5th Series Malaysia Notes, what is the color stand for each notes? 5th: Is the material for making coins turn lousy? Compare between 5th Series Coins to Earlier Series. |
