Wonderful

clever design.  Include soon-to-be and previous monarchs on the notes.

The colors seem to vary a lot on my monitor from image to image. I take it they'll be exactly same in color as before?

Not used anymore?

Inappropriate references have been removed.  

Does anyone remember about 10 years or so ago the 50 baht notes were not able to be ripped at all? Was there a reason  for it ? Why did it not continue? 

I think all notes should be that way.
