hi all, my daughter just came back from trick or treating and someone had given her a bank note or foreign currency but we do not know where it is from.
we also doubt if it is worth anything but are curious as to where it came from.

so does anybody know what country this is from ??
thanks for looking

Haven't a clue but I'll copy off the lads above and say it's Thai Baht.

Don't let your kids touch it, it's probably been down some whore's knickers in Thailand.

Yep, those are definitely French nobility on the notes. Plus they are holding a parasol, which is a French invention, definitely France.

Yeah the Thais use French currency too, since they were colonised by Tintin the Great in 1594.

Found a 1,000 baht note in a lift once. Happy Dayz!! (worth ~€20)

Trick or Treating? How sophisticated. When we were young we called that begging from door to door.

He is.

Once heard of someone fumbling with their change over there, a coin dropped on the ground and started rolling away. He naturally tried to stop it by stamping on it with his foot, the Thais were nearly fit to string him up! Putting your foot in contact with the king's image would be seriuosly dissing the king.

Looks like a 20 note, worth about 0.50 (Euro) cents.
Don't spend it all in the one shop.

what is this currency ?
