Have they stopped it?

It's rarely used. I went to a bank in Germany to get the 200 and 500 euro notes. Even there, they only had the 200Euro note. There was a Forex shop next to the bank who had this note and he gave it to me

Oh this brings back memories. Need to go home sometime and dust off my coin/currency collection. Remember being proud of 1 re coin collection.

Is there any valuation guide available? My father avidly collects first day covers and i see that they have nice valuation guides.

Shall try and remember to take pics next time i go to my hometown.

I have inherited a large number of coins from across the globe and of varying vintage here I am putting up some old indian coins. Is there anyone who can give me a fair value of these coins?

Nice ones. I have a few of similar coins and had a habit of collecting 1Re coins. Now my collection is gathering dust.

Need to find someone who can put a value on it.

Was aware about personalized postage stamps, but thought the minimum number to order was very high and the costs were in lakhs! Came to know only recently that one could get personalized stamps done at low costs. Could be a nice gift to kids.

Edit: The thread about stamps was looking relatively inactive, hence posted this here. Apologies if this is a wrong thread.

I have been collecting notes and coins from my childhood which are hidden between books and in boxes all around my stuff. Have ordered a collection album to store the notes in one place and will post pictures once done.

Till then a small preview

I am not a big collector, but do stick on to few things.
Just to show from collection, how a Ten Rs. Currency Note has shrunk, not just in purchasing power, but size too.

There is more in my chest, which I will show later.

[Amrik Singh]

Just few of the big load.

Got this Currency Album from Amazon with 102 slots. Only issue is that old 500,1000 and the latest 2000 notes don’t fit in

Some pictures of the collection of coins.

I need some pointers. Does anyone know of a good dedicated coin/numismatic forum, especially the ones that deal with Indian coins, the way tbhp deals with Indian car scene? (A very high benchmark, I know). Google search turned nothing related to Indian coins specifically or may be I missed it. I did find a lot of other forums, mostly catering to western coins. If not, just point me to a good forum catering to world coins. I see there are quite a few.

I have a stash of coins that I am interested in evaluating. Some of those are really old and want to know if they are genuine. My knowledge in this subject is zero. The collection is of my father's who collected it over the years and slowly lost interest.

I believe RBI is issuing commemorative coins this week. Does any member know where and how to procure them? This is a photo I received on WA.
