But he also collects 10 rupee notes (the largest denomination he can afford) with serial numbers that are dates, but not simple patterns like 1234... or 1111.... (I'm afraid I don't know the technical term for those sorts of things.) "... I keep those that match with special dates like Independence Day, i.e. 150847." But that is the simplest. He has the full series of the birthdays of presidents of India. "I could not get the birthdays of the viceroys, so I have stuck to the dates they took over," says the father of one, who is thankful to his friend ND for making the numerous trips to the money-changers to fill in the gaps. The collection spans other dates like birthdays of sportpersons and musicians, inauguration of significant monuments like all the high courts and the Reserve Bank of India. Aren't there a fair number of that sort of collector around? -- Tim McDaniel; Reply-To: |
