Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 03/08/2012 8:08 pm British North Borneo became a state within the Federated Malay States. BNB became Sabah; and FMS became Malaysia. The back of your $5 shows the heraldic badges of the component states. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabah and the links there. I spent a week around Sandakan about 12 years ago: beautiful country; rich history; great food. The pace is a lot slower than on "Peninsular Malaysia" (= the mainland). The different printers just reflect whoever had the contract at the time. TDLR was kept very busy "making money" for the many authorities that issued banknotes for the many components of the Empire.
