Example of colored plastic coins which will be used in September 17

           The government announced about started using plastic coin standard as currency money instead of banknote in the national meeting held on September 10, which will officially use next week.

           National meeting disputed on the topic about the standard money for 10 months before starting this change. In the September 10, 2012, the prime minister finally announced about the change to be the same as the other 63 countries which now changed to use plastic coin standard as currency money. 

           Thailand prime minister said, “To avoid banknote production problem we have to change the currency to plastic coin. Anyway, any kind of banknote the citizen has still can be used as an exchange currency. The plastic coin standard will later fully use in next 3 months.”

           A large number of trees is used in order to print banknote, and the producing system cause pollution which directly effects environment. While number of forests is dramatically reduced from industries and living area expansion into the forest area, the World Environment Defending (WED) filed a petition for prohibition on cutting trees which now use as an international law.

           Plastic coin producing causes far less pollution comparing to banknote producing. The national bank officer who takes duty on the production stated that plastic coin is now ready to be used and will be send to exchange market by tomorrow morning.

           "The plastic coin weight is light. For avoid making the copy of false money, in production steps the plastic for making coin will be mix with special material that will show a code in violet ray, nearly is the same method which was used in banknote," the officer said.
