yes, 100 satang in 1 baht. there are 25 satang and 50 satang coins. if you don't visit tesco or rimping, your best bet to see them is at Wat Pho - in the Reclining Buddha hall, there are 100-odd alms bowls along the south wall, and for a donation of 20 baht or so, you get a bowlful of satangs which you can drop one by one into the alms bowls. same at Wisakha Bucha or Asalaha Bucha in major temples in Chiang Mai.

btw, has anyone seen the 2-baht coins since their introduction a year ago? I've only come across two (!), but I might have mistaken a lot more because they are very similar to the 1-baht coin. colleagues said they had hardly seen any of them.
