From a 22 Words post titled "Phonetically Accurate Gratitude"
“OK, so it’s actually not quite accurate since the T-H is voiced in “than” but not in “thank,” but close enough.”
I love that 22 Words noticed the voicing.
theta is voiceless
eth is voiced
To add further phonetic analysis, the way the sign is written the individual words would read as /ðæn/ and /kju:/
when in reality the expression of gratitude is a combination of the words
/θænk/ and /ju:/
