Malaysia to U.S. Currency Conversion
The term for the Malaysian dollar is ringgit. The word ringgit means jagged, referring to the look of Spanish coins that Malaysians once used. Malaysian currency has seen many changes throughout the years, first from the Spanish silver dollar and then to the Indian rupee. Next the currency went to the Straits dollar, before setting into the ringgit in 1975. A ringgit is divided into 100 cents or sen. You don't have to be an expert in Malaysian currency to convert to the U.S. dollar. You can find currency converters online that will do the math and exchange rate for you.
