Can It Be More Efficient?
Annals of Financial Economics
The current (as of 2012) denominational range of the Malaysian ringgit has banknotes of RM1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100, but no RM2. The previous range (1996) carried RM1, 2, 5, 10, 50 and 100, but no RM20. We compare the efficiency of these two ranges with a full range like the Euro has, that is, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100. We estimate that if the Bank Negara Malaysia would reintroduce an RM2 banknote, the efficiency of the payment system in Malaysia would increase substantially.
