syd barrett Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 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!

JimsKnight Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hmm, might be able to fool machines with that method. I recall that the one baht coins used to be the exact weight and size to the old 50 pfennigs of German currency Had a blast using them when I used to get back from LOS in the late 1990s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJo Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 10 baht coins used to work as 2 euro coins but they fixed the vending machines quite fast to prevent people using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
