A-Different-Sort-Of-Roll-Find

My son was coming back from a track meet this weekend when the coach broke open a roll of 2 euros to give the guys as part of their supper money. The coin on the left was the one my son got. (with a normal 2 euro for comparison). Most of the guys would have been disappointed, but he was thrilled - a nice addition to his budding collection.

When I was there I thought it could be a good idea to get some to try in vending machines :P
Indeed, they have the same "shape" - not sure if they would work.

I read about this the other day, the Baht coin is worth like 25 cents or something. So you could make quite a profit....

It would take about 9 10 baht to equal 2 euros.
Now is the time in history to be collecting bi-mets.

Yes, the Thai 10-baht made the news back when the euro was first introduced and people realised they would work as 2-euro coins in vending machines. The confusion was entirely the ECB's fault, since the Thai coin came first (introduced way back in 1988). The vending machine industry in Europe allegedly spent lots of money to find ways to filter them out, so they're not still supposed to work in vending machines anymore.
