    Banknote Info

    The 8th series 20 baht banknotes were printed from USA after the end of world war 2. The paper used was that used for banknotes that were used by the US army as currency in the areas under their control in Europe at the end of the war. The paper had a watermark "MILITARY AUTHORITY". After supplies of this watermarked paper were exhausted, plain paper were used. To make it easy to verify and prevent forgery, Arabic numerals from 1-50 were printed in black ink at the lower right and upper left corners on the front.
