<p>[QUOTE="keemao, post: 2584854, member: 43972"]Very possible. They reissued some stamps while we were there and they were selling pretty fast. Stamps on the street are just as high as the coins are now. The government is not wasting any time making money off the King's death either. They have their hand in the pot, so to speak. When we were at a satellite Treasury office off Ari BTS station, they took a shipment of what looked like 25-50 boxes labeled "silver 100 each". My wife asked and was told they were silver coins destined for sale at some upcoming show in the middle of December. I didn't get to see what coins they were, but considering there is nothing available at the treasury except the 3 20 baht coin set they put out while we were there limited to one per person, I am sure these will sell quickly at whatever show they have them at. We have friends that work at the Treasury and go to different countries selling Thai coins at the shows and I am not sure how this will affect their future travel to shows for awhile. They did the ANA show in Chicago a couple years ago and usually go the the spring Germany show every year. My thought is the Thai mint will work hard at producing whatever it can to keep selling while the sales are hot until maybe sometime next year when it might slow down and prices start dropping. Of course, if the Thai mint would make lots more of the 20 baht coins that sold out days after the King's death, that might bring prices down on the street. Who knows. It's a waiting game.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
