I was worried and looking here and there for inspiration. Suddenly, KG asked about the reason for the antsy look. I explained and said “how can I show change in a photo!”
And he coolly said, what is so difficult about it.
His solution to my problem at hand was truly an Aha! moment. Thank you KG 🙂
Here’s the Change…
If you are wondering about the ancient coins (2, 3, 5, 10 and 20 paisa coins), there’s a story behind it.
After clicking the new coins, I suddenly had the brainwave of adding the old coins too. I remembered that my mother has quite a few of them with her. Immediately, I called her up to find that they were out for dinner. As soon as they were back home at 10.40 pm, I requested KG to take me to their place.
No, he didn’t accompany me with a smile. 🙁

Glad you changed… there were so many posts on this theme! 😀
I thought of doing this, and did it too 😉 But I did not take so much trouble. In fact, asked hubby to click a good picture 😀

Your change is so cute… loved both of them 😀
Love the way you have captured all denominations, only the 1paise coin seems to be missing from the family portrait 🙂
True
This is an actual “change” post with so many coins 😉
I checked later… 1 paise coin was there… in my excitement to click… forgot to check it properly! 😐

Ah, you’ve made me nostalgic now that I saw the old coins! Is that a Rs 10 coin?! Looks nice!
Yes, that’s a new addition! 🙂
Arre u should have come here… I have some older coins too… duanni etc. And some old nepali coins and god knows what else! You could have added those in the pic!
I wanted to do this too, but I wanted to do it with my sister’s pink piggy bank. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find that piggy bank anywhere here… she probably took it with her. 🙁
Thanks for the offer!
I have coins of various countries too… but wanted to click our Indian coins 😀
Awww I remember these old coins. How precious 🙂
My mother gave all her old coins to me day before, so that I could keep this treasure and share it with my son, later! 😀

The other day, Smita and I were talking on phone and discussing mailboxes… my husband at the end of the call, said, “I though only you were crazy!” 😛
Good old days of 5p and 20p we can get pepsicolas! Oh..i haven’t seen a 10R coin! Heard there’s going to be a 100R coin too!
Lovely collection though. I have the old 1 Rupee note with me still..
Yes, Rs 10 is a new introduction… been there for more than 3 years I guess.
Yeah, heard about Rs 100 and FB showed pics of Rs 1000 coin… but that could be fake news!
