The banknote is completed with modern anti-counterfeiting technology and also allows easy authentication for all including those with visual impairment," said Woraporn Tangsaghasaksri, an assistant governor of the Bank of Thailand.Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/business/Thai-banknote-named-Best-Regional-Banknote-of-the--30274714.html-- The Nation 2015-12-11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
