The 10-Baht coin was first introduced more than 10 years ago, but a few year back, a senior Thai politician had the idea that the introduction of the coin 'devalued' the Baht and contributed to inflation. So, the 10-Baht note was re-introduced for a short time, until the politician fell from power.
You may still encounter some 10-Baht notes, especially outside of Bangkok.
