In this world of unlimited needs, what else can we all ask for in order to satisfy that needs, except money? We apply for a job, make money, spend it, try to find any possible way to make more money and then spend it. This circuit keeps going and going forever. Our lives are undeniably involved by and committed to money more and more everyday. But do we really know the importance of the money? Do we know who create the money or where, when and how the money is created? The answer is no, we do not. So the journey to find these answers begins.

 

This field trip brought us back to the very first step of the banknotes. Providing a remarkable knowledge by proficient officers and experts, we obtained more understanding about the process of making the banknotes. Even though we were not allowed to take any photo throughout the process, but what we have seen by our own eyes, it was more than enough. We did not need the evidence to prove how dedicate the workers and officers were or how difficult it was before one banknotes can finally be established. The banknotes in our hands is already the best reflection towards the hard working and all the complicated processes. Every single detail on the banknotes had the meanings that no one should overlook as the banknotes are not only the intermediary or the median of exchange, it is the representative of Thailand?s tradition and culture and also the reflector of Thais? royalty towards our beloved kings.
