Cuban Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) I was given one in change last night, not seen a two Baht in this color before, is it in aid or celibrating something? I tried a search forum search nothing that I could see has been posted before. ------found the answer on another site------------ Feb. 3rd 2009. They're made from aluminium/bronze to stop people confusing them with the nickel/steel 1 Baht coin. No more "2"s written on the silver ones. There is a picture if you search on Google as well.

astral Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 The last 2 baht coin did not fly. I wonder if this one will?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ping Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Anything to distinguish the difference between a 1 Bt and 2 Bt coin can't be a bad thing (for farang). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 agree with ping the 2 baht is too easy to get mixed with the 1 baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry i forgot to say. Just ask your mrs or a thai person in future as these people can help u more than spending hours searching a net forum.

siam2007 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 got one today from the bus conductor as well. indeed a cutie-coin. but, same as the 50-Baht note, I guess it will not be overly successful in daily use..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northpoint Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 got one today from the bus conductor as well. indeed a cutie-coin. but, same as the 50-Baht note, I guess it will not be overly successful in daily use..... I love the two baht coin. It even confuses Thais. They often use a pen to mark it as a 2 THB coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
