Thais regularly flock to purchase limited-edition items, particularly banknotes, coins and stamps, produced in honour of the late King. I would also worry about how to keep them, so I think silver coins are enough to have as memorabilia," she said. Ms Jiwamol said that she has also collected other items associated with the late King such as photos. As of Sept 30, 139,960 gold coins and 17.7 million cupronickel coins were booked, while all 799,999 silver coins were sold out. Kanta Banchong snapped up the silver royal cremation coin by lining up at Krungthai Bank at around 7.30am on Sept 18.
