• Most valuable Malaysia 1 cent is at the year of 1968 and 1970.
• Error coin also consider as valuable coin (die crack).
• In 1976, a staff of Bank Negara Malaysia found some 1976 one cent coins stuck in the coin counting machine.The coin counting machine was adjusted to detect only one cent coin in copper-clad steel planchet produced since 1973. Apparently, one cent coin in copper-clad steel blank is lighter (1.74 gm) than copper blank (1.94 gm) and attracted to magnet.The staff took out those stuck coins and reported to his superior.They found out this coins were minted on copper planchets instead of copper-clad steel planchets.
  A post-mortem was conducted by Bank Negara Malaysia internally.They traced it to the mint factory.These were what they found :
  When they cleared and cleaned  the floor of the minting area which is full of all sizes of planchets which dropped out from the coin press  machine during the minting process, they collected and separated those planchets by denominations  for future coin minting because each planchet was already accounted for. However, they missed to separate the copper planchets (used to mint one cent coin for year1973 and before)  from the copper-clad steel planchets (used to mint one cent coin for year1973 and after) for one cent coin. So when they mint the  1976 one cent coins, this mixed planchets were used. And these planchets included those copper planchets. 
  Most rare 1 cent is the Malaysia Transitional Errors 1976 One Cent rare coin was minted on a copper planchet.
