Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 09/15/2011 07:21 am it's from Thailand: I think it's one baht. the bloke on the obverse is King Rama IX, also known as Bhumibol Adulyadej, currently the longest-reigning monarch in the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhumibol_Adulyadej I've been to Thailand a few times: Bangkok, the south, the north, and every shop displays his portrait. Thais handle their paper money with unsual reverence - because notes bear the King's portrait, and must be treated respectfully. someone more knowledgeable will be along soon.
