One such coin is in the limelight these days. You will be surprised to know that a foreign coin has completely changed the fate of a man and turned him into a millionaire.
A man shared the details of the coin of 1933 on social media platform TikTok and remarked that the same was sold for 140,000 pounds, i.e., Rs 1.5 crore.
Elaborating on the coin, the man said, "This is a personal collection. The coin is so iconic that a lot of people come and visit me to have a glance of it. Usually what happens is the coins are kept in safes, however, they somehow get lost. In 2016, this coin was sold at a price of Rs 1.5 crore."
The man further expressed hope that the old coins, if brought into the market, will be sold at even higher prices.
"Can one even think that the old coins, if brought into the market, will be sold at even higher prices?" he said.
