An new antique to my collection


i have a chocolate when i give 25 paise to a shopkeeper on early days. 25 paise is said to be a big amount when we have that on our pencil box during my primary schooling as our parents use to leave and pick up from the school during those days. They used to take care of all the expenditures on the way to school. Whenever i get a chace to come alone or go to shop alone during those days i used to chew a chocolate by exchanging the 25 paise with the shop keeper. After few days as i grow old and went to school alone or with my friends we used to spend in 10s daily for snacks that too in school canteen and the shop thats near by our school. the 25 paise slowly started to disapper from us. suddenly i started seeing the circulation of 25paise drastically. whenever i used to get a change there i can see atleast two paise in that. I was liitle bit surprised where this 25 paise had gone these days. And after few days when i gave 25 paise for the shopkeeper the same shopkeeper returned me as sorry sir this coin does not value anymore. one side i was shocked but on the other side i was liitle bit happy as i have a lot of 25 paise with me. Then i came to know that the government of India had stopped the circulation of 25 paise from july 2011. The value of any currency after the circulation period is  known only by the numismatics.The hobby of collecting coins is called numismatics. i was made numismatics mainly because of my friends[shop keepers] as i got many 5 paise, 10 paise, 20 paise and now 25 paise that too before the end of circulation or when the government anounces the end of circulation of any coin. Each and every coin has a seperate history and the seperate characteristics either by the metal in which they are made or the design it has. After the circulation period the value of coin becomes more and more as it becomes older.   

GOOD BYE 25 PAISE FROM CIRCULATION AND WELCOME AS AN ANTIQUE TO MY COLLECTION!!!!
