CDS is not a major crime is it ?? In Australia your police record ( conviction s) are spent after 10 years if you have no more convictions. Look up how long your record remains open in you country or state….yours it over 13 years ago ….forget about it !
That bowl of Thai coins might add up to 1000 to 2000 bhat max at a guess ??… $40 to $80 aud and you need it to help your mother ??? Don’t think that’s going to do much in the USA
