Comments on: Baht will be two euro please, sir http://ambrand.com/2009/03/14/baht-will-be-two-euro-please-sir/ The musings of a team of 20 something friends in Cork, Ireland Thu, 24 May 2012 05:13:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Vittorio http://ambrand.com/2009/03/14/baht-will-be-two-euro-please-sir/#comment-13957 Vittorio Fri, 13 Aug 2010 10:40:38 +0000 http://ambrand.com/2009/03/14/baht-will-be-two-euro-please-sir/#comment-13957 The 2 euro and 10 baht are both identical to the 500 lire (that is, 25 euro cent) used in Italy before Euro currency. The lire was a curency replaced by euro, and the italian mint coined both the 500 lire and the thai 10 baht. Of course the euro committee knew that coins very well. I suppose they choose to not change the format by purpose, but I don't know why. Maybe they want to use the existing mint? The thais do not sell buckets of 10 baht coins because having/selling baht offshore is illegal. Probably ebay forbids that.

Or do you think there is a person out there who is perfect? All human bodies have imperfections. Weakness is the opposite of strength, and you would hardly think not wearing glasses is a sign of strength, would you? And how is imperfect vision a sign of weakness?

To whom? In my opinion, they give an appearance of intellect, sometimes sophistication (why do so many celebs & posers wear sunglasses all the time?) and certainly that the wearer should be taken seriously.

Not all machines, but I believe most/some do. Try it! Contrary to the last poster, vending machines in Europe DO accept the 10 baht coin as 2 Euro credit.

To hide this he masks up with glasses. Abou the money: you will have found out that vending machines in Europe do not accept the Thai 10 Baht coin. The Thai King has one functional eye only.
