Five baht notes were somewhat rare and pretty ragged in 1974. Favorite nightclub in NKP had a 20 bht cover charge. If you handed over a 100 bht note for the cover charge you wanted to check the 4 "20 baht" notes you got back because the third one down was sometimes a 5 :cussing:

Remember the nonagon 5 baht coin that replaced it? Got to be so many counterfeit coins in circulation that the government finally called them all in and issued a different coin. The 500 baht note appeared around 1974. I remember we were worried that the BGs and freelancers would start demanding a 500, instead of the usual one or two red notes.
