TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 01/30/2010 09:18 am Just got this coin yesterday at work. It came from a roll of quarters a cashier opened. Where is this coin from, and is it worth anything? I can't see any date on the coin. Thanks! Identified - moved to World Coin forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16851 Posts	Posted 01/30/2010 10:41 pm nancyk: those are hosted on photobucket. rustyboy: these 5 baht coins are no longer produced; if you check the link in kena's post, you'll see they recently shrunk them in size. So I don't know how easy it would be to obtain a large quantity of these anymore. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
