Stress is just a five letter word but has a
lot of effect on our lives. There are unexpected situations in life that make
us tensed for some or the other reason. There are different kinds of activities
that you can indulge in to relieve stress. People like to be engaged in hobbies
like painting, music sports etc. There are many communities who love collecting
old Indian coins as well and I belong to one of them. Many friends and
relatives ask me what is in this hobby that excites me so much. There is no definite
answer to this question. All I know is that by collecting old Indian Coins, I forget all my troubling worries. 
There have been cases when I feel very low
and my instant saviour has been my collection of old Indian coins. All I need to do is open my coin album and keep
looking at whatever little I have collected until now. There is something about
old coin of India that brings a
smile on my face. I started collecting coins at a very young age. My cousin
brother was a passionate collector and he introduced me once to his collection
of marvellous Indian old coins. I
still can’t forget that day when I kept pestering my cousin brother by asking
him one question after the other about each and every coin that he had in his
collection. Even though I thought I was troubling him, he kept answering all my
doubts without any complaints. We sat together discussing about ancient coins of India for several
hours. We started talking in the evening and only realised that it was midnight
after my mother came up to me and asked us to go to bed. From the next day
onwards I started building my own collection.
The first coin that I added to my
collection was a bronze coin that was issued by Akbar – a coin which I borrowed
from my cousin brother. There has been no looking back since then and today I
have almost 300 old Indian coins issued
by various emperors!
