This week’s money

Thai baht, Basket peg, 1984

Saturday evening: keep only 1984 and 1897 for Thai baht on the first page at the household book. Use “Basket peg” as the heading for Thai baht. At the older order, write 1984 before 1897. Leave Basket peg and 1897 alone on the first page.

Thai baht is the older arrangement called “Basket peg” in 1984; the figure is 1897. Do not set the balance printed in the passbook beside this figure as if they were the same kind of number. Split the older order from the counter of today, and this week keep only the older order. War, depression or decolonisation forced convertibility changes. At the household book, open Thai baht so the first page shows 1984 first, 1897 next, and “Basket peg” beside them.

This week, write that money’s name, the year, and the figure on the first page of the household book, and do not copy the number posted at the counter. Before you close the book, read once more whether the figure is a unit of the institution. The order is Thai baht, 1984, 1897, then “Basket peg”. When the older order is done, look again only at 1984 for Thai baht and leave 1897 on the first page.

Do not paste the board’s number over this record, and do not put an exchange note and the older order in one cell. Check that the year and the item on the first page are that money’s older split, and do not attach the counter’s number to that line. Split the older order from the counter of today, and this week keep only the older order. Match Basket peg with 1897 at the household book before you close 1984 for Thai baht. Thai baht is the older arrangement called “Basket peg” in 1984; the figure is 1897.

This week, write that money’s name, the year, and the figure on the first page of the household book, and do not copy the number posted at the counter. Thai baht is the older arrangement called “Basket peg” in 1984; the figure is 1897.1984
