Even as Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes are no longer considered legal tenders, visitors are no less curious about a museum housing rare old coins and currency notes here.
Fifty-one -year- old Mohammed Mustaque of Fakirabad village in Kendrapada town has turned a room of his house into a museum where he has kept currency notes and coins of various countries, including some which are very old and rarest of then rare.
A legal practitioner, Mustaque has spent over three decades to collect his rare possessions. He has also some interesting rare documents, photos, newspapers, journals and letters of historical importance.
“Since childhood, I was an ardent lover of antiques and developed an interest in collecting coins. It was three decades of perseverance and hard work that is now paying dividends,” he added.
