To design a currency, one must understand how currency work generally. Luckyly I am a currency collector and spend a lot of time looking and studying them. First, we need to identify the problem with the current design. To note, I will be heavily refering to my experience with using this currency system and occasionally refering to reddit for comments and criticisms. 

Problem with the Current Design

• Coins

  • all coins have the same design other than the denomination marks

    • the issue with coins having the same design is the issue of monotonaity, all the coins having similar designs will also be an issue for those hard of sight.

  • all coins have similar sizes especially 2b. and 1b. which use to have the same color.

  • 25st. and 50st. have become all-in-purposes not used in everyday life

    • the issue with this is that convinience stores and banks will give you these denominations, but you can't use them at any vendors and stores.

  • not representative of the Thai as a whole.

  • burdensome to carry and use

• Banknotes

  • all of the obverse side have the same design other than the denomination marks

  • all of the banknotes contain the same theme, though alone not a bad thing.

    • the issue is that currency, in my opinion, is suppose to represent who ever is going to be using it, and only representing the historical side is not sufficient.
