The Coin Collector

At first glance, there is nothing wrong with  the below 20,000 1998 Indonesia rupiah bank note. However, this bank note has ceased to be in public circulation perhaps due to some religious taboo. Indonesia is predominantly a Muslim country, however if you notice that at its top left corner, it showed a potrait or image of Hindu god.

Most of the 5, 10 and 20 cents coinage were used as ornaments or buried with the dead and show small solder marks or filled holes. Hence, it is quite difficult for collectors to get undamaged coin. Those undamaged are quite expensive to collect. However for coin investment, it’s important not to invest in such condition.
