As I explored the shop, my eyes caught a glimpse of a mesmerizing array of old Indian coins, some dating back to the '90s and even earlier. There were these tiny wonders like 25 paise and 50 paise coins, each holding a piece of history in its own right. Some coins were so unique that I did not even recognize them.

What struck me the most was a collection that included the 500-rupee notes from the era before demonetization in India. It was like finding a piece of nostalgia neatly preserved under glass.
