Lonely Planet review for Numismatic Museum

On the ground floor of the Menara Maybank, the Numismatic Museum has a small display of Malaysian coins and banknotes, including early Chinese 'coin trees'. While Europeans preferred to strike coins, the Chinese cast their coins in ceramic moulds, leaving a tree of washer-shaped coins attached to metal 'branches'. The coins were then snapped off and carried around looped on strings.
