Daily News Thai Caption: Quickly check

 

A collector of coins and bank notes went on a facebook page (By Gig) to advise people to check their 20 baht new plastic bills.

 

The ones without a strip as shown in the photograph could be worth up to 3,000 baht, reported Daily News.

 

The poster said that since advertising this more than a month ago no one had come forward but the notes were out there somewhere.

He said people could be sitting on 100,000s even a million baht.

 

He would go to collect them at your house and pay 1,000 to 3,000 baht for each 20 depending on condition.

As well as buy any other coins and bills of interest.

 

So get checking and post on this thread if you find any!

Come on...a serious collector is not going to collect 100's of one type of bank note anywhere in the world unless he has a buyer for them

I wonder if he's interested in some old UK coin currency.

3,000 baht for a 50p coin ?

Unfortunately I didn't make 2,980 baht today...????

Neither did I, but then I have had my windfall on banknotes.

In  1970 I was stationed at Sharjah near Dubai and one day I got some notes from the bank that looked brand new, so I kept a few.  I had 3 x 1 Riyals and 1 x 5 Riyals, worth about 10 bob old UK money, half a pound.

When I cleared my flat in 2010 I found them and took them to a dealer. He said I should take them to auction, could fetch £2000, I was emigrating and didn't have the time, just accepted his £900.

The currency was Qatar & Dubai Riyal, only in circulation for about 5 years.

I keep reading this article and I am still confused by the picture with the X and checkmark. I don't have a new bill to look at and compare, but the article should be clear enough so that even a duffus like me can figure it out. So, which bill is all the fuss over? The one with the X or checkmark?

With a tick in the photo.

 

I will pay 10฿ each if you have any of the useless ones with the strip.

 

I am still looking for one of the notes where the Thai serial number at the top does not match the western numbers down the side. Checking for the lack of a strip will be much easier.

 

If I find one where the numbers don't match and is also missing the strip how much is it worth?

I have a handful of Laotian Kip notes if he's interested.  Pre-commie days.  And a couple of Zimbabwe notes that are 10 or 100 million dollars, which are the small ones. 

Seen a few,  Bent Nine Bob Notes,  around pattaya.

That will soon be the normal currency exchange rate.

None of these 20 baht notes but how about these I acquired through Bangkok Bank during my retirement in Thailand. They are not old but were issued in presentation packs by the Bank of Thailand. 

 

First, issued on 5th December 2007 to commemorate the 80th Birthday of the Late King. 1, 5 and 10 baht notes on an uncut sheet:

 

 

Second, issued on 5th December 2011 to commemorate the Late King's 7th Cycle Birthday Anniversary. A single 100 baht note (which I never saw in general circulation):

 

 

 

These are among my collection of coins, banknotes and stamps which now reside in Cambodia.

I hope he contacts me...

For notes to really be special and valuable they must be as close to perfect / uncirculated as possible. It's amazing the tiny issues really devalues the bill.

 

Those b20 notes are not going to be worth much bc of wear. A clean soft crease will take otherwise uncirculated note down markedly.

 

 

 

I have lots of old notes and rare notes from Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao, Burma, Colonial Burma and India, India, Pakistan. 1930-1980

 

US coins collectable as well. Lots of silver, proofs, toned coins

 

105oz Mexican silver (not in Thailand)

 

Totally Random

That is exactly right.

When I got mine from the bank they were spotless and flat and i immediately sealed some, I worked in an instrument bay and we had a heat sealer.

I kept them flat in a book for 40 years and the dealer still saw signs of slight creasing, why he said it may only be £2000 at auction.

Had they been truly uncirculated and with a couple of oil magnates interested, sky would have been the limit.

Not if they were produced by the company that has the contract to produce them, it would just be an error.
