akdrv Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Bhubaneshwar: 15-year-old Deviprasad Mangaraj has attained worldwide fame for his hobby, which has resulted in his possessing the country's largest collection of antique coins. The teenage numismatist has more than 40 thousand antique coins from 120 different countries and hopes to enter the Guinness Book of World Records soon. But it's not just the love for records that keeps him going. "By collecting such coins I am keen to make people aware of the history, important personalities and the period of those coins," says Mangaraj, who dreams of building a coin museum for children in Bhubaneshwar. http://www.ibnlive.com/news/teenage-coin-c...ss/51720-3.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 That is all he has, and he is getting into the record books? Suffice to say, serious people collecting coins will never tell you how many they have, it is just plain stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
