About Indonesian Rupiah (Rp)
The Indonesian Rupiah (IDR, ISO 4217 code 360, symbol Rp) is the official currency of the Republic of Indonesia, issued by Bank Indonesia (BI, est. 1953). Subdivided into 100 sen (no longer in use). Banknotes: Rp1,000 (rarely circulated paper version, replaced by coin), Rp2,000, Rp5,000, Rp10,000, Rp20,000, Rp50,000, Rp75,000 (commemorative 75th Independence Day issue 2020), Rp100,000 (featuring Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta, Indonesia's founding fathers); coins: Rp50, Rp100, Rp200, Rp500, Rp1,000. The 1997-1998 Asian Financial Crisis devastated the rupiah — IDR fell from ~Rp2,400 per USD to over Rp16,000 per USD at peak crisis, contributing to President Suharto's resignation May 1998. Indonesia removed three zeros from the rupiah in 1965 and has periodically discussed further redenomination ('Sanering') legislation. Indonesia is Southeast Asia's largest economy (~$1.4T GDP) and the world's 4th-most-populous country (~280 million). BI targets 2.5% ± 1% CPI inflation per the Monetary Policy Framework Agreement.
About Thai Baht (฿)
The Thai Baht (THB, ISO 4217 code 764, symbol ฿) is the official currency of the Kingdom of Thailand, issued by the Bank of Thailand (BoT, est. 1942). Subdivided into 100 satang. Banknotes: ฿20 (King Rama IX commemorative; King Rama X regular series), ฿50, ฿100, ฿500, ฿1000 (current Series 17 introduced 2018 featuring King Rama X — Maha Vajiralongkorn — replacing King Rama IX Bhumibol Adulyadej after his death October 13, 2016); coins: 25 satang, 50 satang, ฿1, ฿2, ฿5, ฿10. The baht (or tical historically — old British usage) has been the unit of measure for gold trade in Thailand for centuries (1 baht of gold = 15.244 grams of 96.5% pure gold). The Asian Financial Crisis of July 2, 1997 began with the floating of the Thai baht (which had been pegged at ฿25 per USD) after BoT exhausted reserves defending the peg — the baht devalued ~50% in 6 months. Thailand is Southeast Asia's 2nd-largest economy after Indonesia. BoT targets 1-3% CPI inflation per the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) inflation-targeting framework adopted 2000.
