'Show me the money!' I say.

Out comes a Russian note from 1904, a half-a-century old 10,00000 Lira note (Turkish currency), the most colourful 10,000 currency note I have ever seen from Uganda, and coins holding religious significance from the Khilafat period. A coin/currency collector, Nazir Memon's treasure trove had it all.

Nazir is an owner of more than 2000-year-old currency notes and coins from over 130 countries across the continents.

He never shares the actual worth of his ancestral treasure. Motivated to keep this inherited tradition alive and thriving, 54-year-old Nazir has invested over Rs50 lacs into this collection in his own lifetime.
