Form Currency in Used In Thailand is Baht
The smallest unit of Thai currency is called, “Satang”. One hundred Satang makes up to be one Bath. Coin for Satang come in five denomination(25 Satang coin, 50 Satang coin, 1 bath coin, 5 bath coin, and 10 bath coin) . Satang coins are made of brass. Today the value of Satang is very small. You can not buy anything with Satang anymore, and you can hardly ever see them in real life. Baht coins are silver, and the ten bath coins have silver ring around the brass center.
Bills also have five denomination. ( 20 Baht, 50 Baht, 100 Baht, 500 Baht, and 1000 Baht ). The size of bills gets bigger with its value. Twenty Baht Bills are made with green paper, and it is the smallest of all bills. Fifty Baht bills are made in blue. One hundred Baht bills are made in red. Five hundred Baht bills are made in purple. Thousand Baht bills are made in white, and it is the biggest of all bills.
All coins and bills must have the image of his Majesty the King of Thailand. It is a gesture of respect that Thai people show toward their beloved king.
