Ringgit

Ringgit

"Ringgit" (Malay for "jagged") mostly refers to the Malaysian ringgit, which is the local currency in Malaysia, but it can also refer to the Brunei dollar in the Malay language. The word "ringgit" was originally used to refer to the serrated edges of Spanish silver dollars widely circulated in the area before the introduction of their own currency.
