People began queuing outside Government Savings Bank’s Raiwasin Market branch around 6 a.m. Oct. 26 to exchange their money for an “84 Phansa” series note commemorating HM the late King’s 7th cycle, 84th birthday on December 5, 2011.

Each Government Savings Bank branch was allotted 100 notes and only 200,000 were printed nationwide.

Not everyone who lined up was able to get a special bill, but those who missed out vowed to continue trying.
