	Baht
		The baht (symbol ฿, ISO 4217 code THB) is the official currency of Thailand.
		The present decimal system, in which one baht = 100 satang, was introduced in 1897 by king Chulalongkorn.
		Originally the term Baht was a weight unit of about 15g, and was adopted because one Tical was equivalent to 15g of silver.

		A baht attack to the tune of US$10 billion on May 14, 1997 meant that roughly Bt260 billion, based on the exchange rate of Bt25 per US dollar, would have been immediately drained from the system.
