Popular Post snoop1130 Posted October 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2023 A Thai woman mistakenly fried a 20 baht banknote, resulting in a shrivelled and crispy note that sparked much mirth on social media asking whether a bank would accept it. A wave of humorous responses from netizens ensued after a Twitter user yesterday posted an image, from a life and family problems consultation group, where the woman sought advice, accompanied by a picture of a 20 baht note that had fallen into a hot frying pan. The banknote had shrunk to a tiny size. The Twitter poster reached out for advice. “I’m asking for knowledge. It was a mistake while I was selling things. The 20 baht note shrunk to a tiny size, but the components of the note are still intact. “The numbers are complete, but the condition of the note is warped and crispy. If I exchange it at the bank, will they accept it? If the same accident happens with 500-1,000 baht notes, I won’t be able to handle it.” She posted a picture of the offending 20 baht banknote that had undergone severe hot oil frying, shrunk to a tiny size and had a crispy texture similar to a well-fried rice cracker. However, the overall components were still identifiable as a 20 baht note, but the numbers were hard to see. When compared with a regular 20 baht note, the size difference was noticeable.

observer90210 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) If the banknote becomes a social media video star on tik tok or other platforms, it could end up it being worth far more. Such arwe the absurd ways of the web... Edited October 17, 2023 by observer90210 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyExpat57 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I noticed something similar with one of the old 20 baht notes. I had one that had gotten wet, and as I was ironing a shirt thought I'd iron the note dry. It immediately inflated as if a small balloon were inside. I don't know it that's an obscurity or a feature.

dinsdale Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Polymer banknotes. Australian invention. Shrink when too hot as opposed to something else which srinks when too cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
