Interesting indeed. Makes me wonder how many of those old coins, or former coins, the mint still has ...
Christian
Damn, are we ever going to see some unique overstrike events such as 1baht overstriked on 10 pennia or 50 pennia? 
It can happen...

For Thailand is cheaper to buy a bulk lot of Finn former coins and to adopt Markka as new coinage...

It did, but the other way around and not on a Thai baht. A Finland €2 coin was struck on an Israel sheqel.

You better tell me that you won that Sisu! It sold for €260. And no I don't have that kind of money to burn.
A wonderful new area of error collecting, better than mules etc. Bi-national error! Now If I can get a Saudi Riyal overstruck on a Israel Shekel, or vicey versy, all the better.
