sheeptotherescue Valued Member United States 154 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 1:38 pm Hey all, Just thought I'd share some coins I got from ebay recently. The coins on the left are thai coins, 25 Satang to 10 Baht. The two coins on the right are from Bhutan! Which I think is pretty nifty. The Thai coins are so lovely though, I love seeing all the cool temples, I almost feel like I'm there. The package they came in was half covered in different Thai stamps which was cool to see too, although I'm not a stamp collector.

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 1:53 pm Nice coins! Speaking of Bhutan I have a funny story to share. A few years ago I rented a Bhutan-made movie from a library. The story is of a local official who's making a cross-country trip to get to a location from which he could emigrate to the US. At some point my wife (who was born in the US) asked me where Bhutan was, I explained. Just a couple minutes later, in the movie, one of people the main character comes across asked him why he wanted to emigrate to a country "where nobody even knows where Bhutan is!"

That movie is most of my exposure to Bhutan, and looking at the coins makes me think about what life is like there. PS The title of the movie is Travelers and Magicians. Report this Post to the Staff

sheeptotherescue Valued Member United States 154 Posts	Posted 06/19/2012 10:46 pm Wonderful! Thank you for sharing that. There isn't a whole lot out there about Bhutanese coins, so it's cool to see some more. And yes, Ngultrum is probably one of the more fun currencies to say. :D Report this Post to the Staff

So, join up over at the stamp forum and see if you can swap them for some coins. http://www.stampcommunity.org/ Only trouble is you need 50 posts. Hey Bobby, we need a section where members can swap between forums without having to get up the posting requirements. Steve Stamp Forum Mod. Report this Post to the Staff
