I am made of silver mixed with copper. I am spheroidal. I weigh just eleven grams. I was minted in Mumbai in 19…. Ashoka’s pillar head was embossed on one side, and my value and date of birth were inscribed on the other. I was very bright and fine then.
I am ten years old, but I have seen many ups and downs. My active life began when I came out of the mint along with other news coins of my kind, I took a rest in the government treasury for a few days. Then I was given to a big officer in salary. He handed me over to his son. I went off hanging in his pocket for some time. He passed me over to a shopkeeper, who was pleased to see me. He banged me on his counter to see it was genuine. I gave out a clear ringing sound. He placed me in his drawers, where I saw many other companions of mine.
Then I was into the hands of a young girl. He always touched me with her delicate hands. She put me in her purse. But the purse had a hole. I fell down and rolled into a gutter. I remained there some time.
A dirty miser picked me up. He took me home and buried me in the ground. I went rotting there with my other companions.
One stormy night, thieves broke it miser’s house. They dug me out. I thanked them for my release. They then paid me to the shopkeeper. Now I am lying in his purse, my luster is gone.
I have become dark and rusty. My beauty has gone away. My face has become faint. But I am happy that I have rambled from pocket to pocket I have known those people who always hanker after money, talk, and dream of money only.
After some days I lost my value, then one billionaire came and get me at a high rate in an auction.
He is keeping some wealth like these collections.
Nowadays, I am very precious. Some interesting people are collecting me, and they are selling at high rates. It is really amazing that the ancient currency making people crazy.
It is an internationally creating a big professional. Some people offered high rates for the ancient coins. There is more demand for cryptocurrency. And it has become a great deal in some countries like the United States, United Kingdom, etc…
Especially in the United States and the United Kingdom, people are buying and selling coins.
Some people with the lure of money are spreading the business in affluent countries. Really it is a great thing and useful to save the ancient heritage and culture which we could not know. Collection of the ancient currency and ancient things which the people used is remembering the walk of life in previous centuries. The rich people save the ancient coins and things at high rates and preserve them for prestige. In some countries, museums are exhibiting these coins in their galleries.
This is the story of the coin's life history.
