The Value of Old Thai Baht (THB) Banknotes
Old Thai Baht banknotes are commonly rejected by currency exchange offices and are often unusable for payments within Thailand. However, this does not mean they are worthless. In some cases, these notes still hold legal value, and if you maintain a bank account in Thailand, you may be able to deposit them through a local bank.
When it comes to collector value, age matters.
Thai banknotes issued before 1945 can be highly sought after due to their rarity and historical importance. In contrast, banknotes from the 1950s onward that were widely circulated generally have little to no collector value.
