Unknown coin found in arcade machine. What is it?
I found a curious looking coin today when I freed it from a jammed
arcade machine. It's probably not worth much, and more than likely is still in circulation, but it is engraved in some eastern language that I don't understand. I looked around the internet trying to identify it, but didn't have much success. Can anyone tell me where it's from or how much in US $ it's worth? Thank you! Here are pictures of both sides of it: http://www.tc.umn.edu/~douc0011/Unid...ont%20Side.jpg http://www.tc.umn.edu/~douc0011/Unid...ack%20Side.jpg |

I'd guess: Thailand, 5 baht, nearly worthless...
