Editing Thai baht (section)

==Money and unit of mass==
''Ngoen'' ([[wikt:เงิน|เงิน]]) is Thai for "[[silver]]" as well as the general term for [[money]], reflecting the fact that the baht (or tical) is foremost a unit of [[mass|weight]] for [[precious metal]]s and [[gemstone]]s. One baht = 15.244 [[gram]]s.<ref>[http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/30756/a-sure-bet-or-fool-gold "A sure bet or fool's gold?"], ''Bangkok Post'' 2010-01-10{{Dead link|date=October 2018}}</ref> Since the standard purity of Thai [[gold]] is 96.5 percent, the actual gold content of one baht by weight is 15.244 × 0.965 = 14.71046&nbsp;grams; equivalent to about 0.473 [[troy ounce]]s. 15.244&nbsp;grams is used for [[Bullion#Bullion|bullion]]; in the case of [[jewellery]], one baht should be more than 15.16&nbsp;grams.
