Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 08/11/2011 05:26 am I have visited that part of the world several times, and enjoy reading about it. I'm trying to put together a type-set from Sarawak. Thanks for putting these pics up. Peter in Darwin, Australia Report this Post to the Staff

As an item of a collection of 90 or so different types of square coins from the World, I have a rather nice red EF Straits Settlements 1/2 cent 1932. I feel rather lucky to have it. I think my type set of square coins for Straits Settlements and Malaya is complete. Even so, your collection for Straits Settlements and Malaya in particular is much more comprehensive than mine.
