Old US bills

[hansron]

Where in Bangkok can I exchange some $100 US Dollars?t

Took ten with me to test on this visit

They date back to the 1980th & are in mint condition.

Been to a couple of banks yesterday in Pratunam, but are reluctant to take them.

Anyone in Khosan can check for me?

Thanks to all that can help me.

Moved to here.

Try at a large branch office of any bank and they should take them. Small branes at malls and such probably would not want them.

had the same with some US money, they  banks are refusing to exchange older style  bills and telling you to use them in the US, luckily for me they are smaller denominations.

You may have ptoblrms as U.S $100 dollar bills were heavily counteritied in the 1970's and the early 1980's by the Iranian government.

That's why they were changed to a  number of times with newer bills which were harder to counterfit.

I was working in Saufi Arabia then, and we were warned many times to carefully check for counterfit $100 dollar bills as the Iranian government was actively passing phony bills in the mid-east, Saudi Arabia in particular,

Lucky, i got that from the bank in melb then in around 1984.

But that may not help me much.

The "Green bank" Kasikorn bank in khosan rd exchanged my dollars,

Went first to a booth and the lady was happy to accept,

but to be sure she walked to the branch to double check.
