State in the midst of preparing the third batch of gold dinar and silver dirham

PERAK has become the second state after Kelantan to introduce its own gold dinar and silver dirham.

Unlike the Kelantan dinar that are being minted using 22k or 916 gold at a foreign country, the Perak gold dinar was made of gold with a purity of 99.9% (fine gold) or 24k gold and minted by Mariwasa Kraftangan Sdn Bhd, a company based in Kuala Kangsar.
