Malaysia 2010 - Malaysian Currency

The first stamp issue for year 2010 of Malaysia is on topic of currency. A total of six stamps and a miniature sheet were released on January 18, 2010. The stamps are in round shape. This is the second time Malaysia postal authority released round shaped stamps. The first round shaped stamps were released in 1971 (click here to see these round shaped stamps). Honestly, the design of these new round shaped stamps is far from satisfactory if compared to the first round shaped stamps. The boarder of these new round stamps is too much, and the red/green/blue colours are just look awful. This stamp set was supposed to be released in December 2009, but it had been postponed to January 2010. If you pay attention to the wording on the stamp boarder, you will notice wording "Malaysia 2009" instead of "Malaysia 2010". Nevertheless, these round shaped stamps received good sale on the day of release.
