The Philippine Peso (PHP) is issued by Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. The Philippines is the only Asian country with a currency called the “peso” — a legacy of Spanish rule. The Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) is issued by Bank Negara Malaysia. “Ringgit” means “jagged”, after the milled edges of old Spanish silver dollars.
