Art theft

A haiku for the fallen:

lovely scallop-edge coin
inflation has replaced you
with fatty new five

    wow…i only remember the 20 paisa coins…
    but I love the edges on the 10 paisa coin…it’s so intricate and pretty…

    i still have those ek paisa, do paisa, paanch paisa (panji-in Punjabi) and dus paisa (Dassi-in Punjabi) with me and lots of other coins from my GrandDad’s times :). There was a teen paisa coin also (hexagonal). sweetest thing is that people still use the terms chavanni (25 paise) and athanni (50 paise). I also remember there used to be a copper 20 paise coin with a picture of lotus…..

    Pure nostalgia…..
