The European Central Bank (ECB) is the financial authority governing the Euro.
The US Dollar (USD)

The Ringgit is used in Malaysia since 1967, before that the Malayan and British Borneo Dollar was used. The currency code for Ringgit is MYR, but also RM is sometimes used as an official abbreviation for the Ringgit (Malaysian Ringgit). One Ringgit is the same as 100 sen. The currency is issued by the Central Bank of Malaysia, Bank Negara Malaysia, BNM, which is also the financial authority governing the MYR.
