The government had continued to explore several avenues to tackle the shortage of money so as to be able to provide sufficient money supply. The government had considered issuing paper money and announce it to be money of the country replacing banknotes issued by commercial banks. In 1890, the government had prepared to issue a paper money called Ngoen Kradat Luang or Treasury Notes by placing an order with Giesecke & Devrient, Germany. There were 8 denominations in various colors and sizes. Unfortunately these notes were never put into circulation due to inefficiency in banknote management.
