=== Second series (1982-1984) === The second series was issued with the main theme being that of Malaysian traditional ornamental designs. Two new denominations, that of $20 and $500, was introduced in 1982; it was followed by redesigned banknotes for the $10, $50 and $100 denominations in 1983 before completing with redesigned $1, $5 & $1000 notes in 1984. All banknotes of this series were printed by [[Thomas De La Rue]]. Until 2010, the second series notes was still occasionally encountered. In 1986, the mark for the blind on the upper left hand corner was removed, and a security strip was added to all denominations except for the 1 ringgit. Printing of $1 notes were discontinued in 1993 with the $1 coin replacing it. Due to its unpopularity, the $20 (RM20) denominations were discontinued and gradually removed from circulation in 1995. In 1999 the RM500 and RM1000 notes were discontinued and ceased to be legal tender. This was due because of the Asian monetary crisis of 1997 when huge amounts of ringgit were taken out of the country to be traded in these notes. In effect the notes were withdrawn out of circulation and the amount of ringgit taken out of the country in banknotes was limited to RM1000. {|class="wikitable" style="margin:auto; font-size:90%; border-width:1px;" |- ! colspan=10 | Second series |- ! rowspan=2 | Image ! rowspan=2 | Value ! rowspan=2 | Dimensions<br/>(mm) ! rowspan=2 colspan=2 | Main colour ! colspan=2 | Description ! rowspan=2 | Issued<br/>from ! rowspan=2 | Issue<br/>suspended ! rowspan=2 | Withdrawn |- !
