History reference:
The Comorian franc is the currency of the state of Comoros. Comoros is a small island nation located in the Indian Ocean off the eastern coast of Africa. 3 languages are recognized as official here: ...French, Comorian, Arabic, which is reflected in the inscriptions on banknotes and coins of Comoros. The Comoros entered the franc zone in 1976. The name of the national currency is borrowed from the former metropolis, which is quite typical for states that were former colonies of France. The Comorian franc was put into circulation almost immediately after the countrys independence, replacing the French colonial franc. The Central Bank of Comoros, which is the main and only issuer of the national currency in the country, exchanged French colonial francs for the national currency at a ratio of one to one. But the relatively high exchange rate of the Comorian franc did not last long. During the period of the 80-90s of the last century, as a result of inflationary processes, it depreciated quite a lot, after which smaller denominations and coins were withdrawn from circulation.

Thailand

Denominations of banknotes in circulation:
10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 Thai Baht.

History reference:
The Thai baht has been the national currency of Thailand since 1928, when it replaced the Siamese tikal (Siam is the old name for Thailand). For the first time the name "bat" is found in texts dating... back to the 14th century. Numismatists interested in the history of Thai money are convinced that the baht existed in the Middle Ages, but there is no documentary evidence for this fact. The first paper banknotes were officially printed in 1892 - their issue was initiated by the Ministry of Finance of Siam. The circulation included denominations of 1, 5, 10, 40, 80, 100, 400 and 800 baht - this is how the banknotes were called in everyday life. Those rare samples that have survived to this day and have been studied by scientists give an idea of \u200b\u200bmoney. They depicted a portrait of a king, a lion and a Bengal tiger.
