The new 2 Baht coin has been in circulation in Thailand for a few months now. You might remember that the original silver coloured 2 baht coin was easily confused with the 1 baht coin so was re-issued in a golden colour.

Some friends back in the U.K. have warned of a common scam that has emerged recently on the streets of England. That is three 2 baht coins super-glued together and passed off as a one pound English coin.

Since 6 Baht is worth just 12 pence in England this scam is catching on fast: BEWARE!

Hmm, might be able to fool machines with that method. :o

I recall that the one baht coins used to be the exact weight and size to the old 50 pfennigs of German currency :D

Had a blast using them when I used to get back from LOS in the late 1990s :D

10 baht coins used to work as 2 euro coins but they fixed the vending machines quite fast to prevent people using them.
