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.
