TOURIST police have arrested a man attempting to exchange counterfeit $US10,000 notes - not printed in the US since the 1930s - for baht currency in the Thai beach resort of Phuket.
Thai national Wachirawich Janjaroenchaisin, 40, was arrested on Sunday night in a sting operation after police were tipped off about someone trying to exchange $US10,000 ($A11,265) notes on the island, 700 kilometres south of Bangkok, the Phuket Gazette reported.
The officers, pretending to be exchange brokers, arrested Wachirawich after he tried to offload 482 fake bills on them, said Deputy National Commander Supaset Chokchai of the Tourist Police.
Police noticed that the bills read "Nan Francisco," instead of San Francisco as the city of origin.
"The (US) embassy confirmed that the notes were counterfeit and that the $US10,000 bill had not been produced for public use since 1936," Supaset said.
"This is the first time we have found $US10,000 bills in Thailand," he added.
