10 Rupee note that doesn't fit in our wallets Pc Bhattacharya signature

      1963,1964's 10 Rupee Notes are famous for its size.  I don't know and need to ask my father is there any bigger wallets at that time to hold such a big size currency notes. I was just going through the currency notes of Rs 10 and feeling the same that how can they hold such type of big notes and do daily transactions like buying dosa and paying for bus conductor ticket etc.  As we know US dollar notes are more portable that indian notes in holding because of its compact dimensions.

            Today i found my coin collection book and my eyes are scanning the price of the coins two years back. A normal silver coin worth Rs 550/- has increased to Rs 800/- over the past 2 years.  It is better you can invest Rs10,000 a year on antiques or even you can start with silver coins if you are not much confident enough on paper money. As silver coins would have double edged possibility to sell as antique or silver.
