Thai banknote amulets ("bang"or "pha yant bang") occupy an unusual space between monetary object and sacred item. This example is centered on Luang Pu Tho (Phra Phrom Rangsi) of Wat Pradoo Chimplee, one of the most venerated monks of 20th-century Bangkok, whose image was incorporated into specially printed or overprinted notes believed to confer financial luck and protection on the bearer.
These are not legal tender and were never intended to circulate as currency. The protective laminate is applied specifically to preserve the sacred inscription, not the monetary substrate.
