memorabilia and money  

    A few things that I accumulated, more or less accidentally, over the course of the expedition...

coins - front

coins - back

5 rupees coin - front

5 rupees coin - back

10 rupees note (front)  This is the smallest note. It's worth about 20 cents... just right for tips to kids.

20 rupees note (front)  20 rupees is the equivalent of about 40 cents... the price of a bamboo flute.

50 rupees note (front)   50 rupees is worth just about $1. It should buy you a good lunch on the street.
