| Comments |
Thailand's switch to polymer for the 20 Baht denomination reflects a hard-learned lesson: the 20 is the workhorse of everyday retail circulation, and cotton-paper examples in this denomination were notoriously short-lived. The substrate change was a practical decision driven by replacement cost, not prestige.
The dual-printer attribution — Bangkok and De La Rue's Malwana facility in Sri Lanka — is consistent with how the Bank of Thailand has managed high-volume denominations, splitting production runs across suppliers to meet demand and reduce single-source risk.
