That post brought back a flood of memo...Dear Johny,<br />That post brought back a flood of memories of childhood - as kids we were so fascinated by coins !We lived in an old house in South Bangalore with a large compound that turned up many strange things in the soil- including the beautiful copper George V four annas coins -the most beautiful coin ever minted ,apart from the 1 pice copper coin with a hole (thooth kaasu)?!Sad to hear the RIP call for the humble 25Ps coin- it has seen better days when we could buy all we ever wanted-mango,guava,gooseberry,peanuts- from the vendor outside the school (Yusuf ?) Thanks for that nudge of memory...Ravihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441283808503957044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872146559118935939.post-75201595864370748652011-05-19T12:59:50.481+05:302011-05-19T12:59:50.481+05:30Dear Johny,
