Internationally, the ISO 4217 currency code for Malaysian ringgit is MYR. To differentiate between the three currencies, the Malaysian currency is referred to as Ringgit Malaysia, hence the official abbreviation and currency symbol RM. Due to the common heritage of the three modern currencies, the Singapore dollar and the Brunei dollar are also called ringgit in Malay (currencies such as the US and Australian dollars are translated as dolar), although nowadays the Singapore dollar is more commonly called dolar in Malay.
In modern usage, ringgit is used almost solely for the currency. Īn early printed source, the Dictionary of the Malayan Language from 1812 had already referred to the ringgit as a unit of money. The availability and circulation of this Spanish currency were due to the Spanish controlling nearby Philippines. The first European coins to circulate widely in the region were Spanish " pieces of eight" or "cob", their crude appearance resembling stones, hence the word jagged. The word was originally used to refer to the serrated edges. The word ringgit is an obsolete term for "jagged" in the Malay language. The ringgit is issued by the Central Bank of Malaysia.ġ8th-century Spanish dollar with milled edges (jagged or "beringgit") It is divided into 100 sen (formerly cents).
