Ever since I have shifted to Kolkata, my wallet is having a
tough time carrying the weight of small silver coins and has developed a paunch
like a traditional Bengali man.
Without change or as they in bangla, ‘Khuchro Poisha’
life comes to a halt here. The vegetable seller would refuse to deliver if you
fall short of one rupee, the bus conductor would make a face and say a few
witty words once you get off the bus and what’s interesting is if you ever
happen to walk in a crowd full of office goers, you could actually hear sounds
of coins dancing and celebrating their importance inside the trousers or in a
shirt’s pocket.
I decided to do a
research regarding the emergence of coins and came across this amazing infographic
which I want to share with you guys. |
