Issued by the Central Bank of Malaysia, it is divided into 100 cents ( Malay: ). Etymology The word ''ringgit'' is an obsolete term for "jagged" in the Malay language. The word was originally used to refer to serrated edges. The first European coins to circulate widely in the region were Spanish " pieces of eight" or "cob", their crude appearance resembling stones, hence the word jagged.
