BOARD 1
THEUNI NTENTI ONAL NUMI SMATI C S WHAT CAUGHT MY EYE.OVER A BLUE PLASTI C MAT THERE WERE BUNCH OF RUSTY OLD COI NS A MAN SELLING COINS.THAT’ OF DI FFERENT SI ZES AND SHAPES.THE COI N SELLER LOOKED LI KE AN OLD MAN,OLD ENOUGH TO BE RETI RED.W HERE CAN YOU FI ND COI NS?COI NS BOTH LOCAL AND I NTERNATI ONAL?THE FI RST THOUGHT THAT CAME TO MY HEAD THAT THE OLD COI N SELLER I S A RETI RED TAXIDRI VER.I T’ S QUI TE EASY FOR PENNI ES AND SMALL NOTES TO FALL ON TAXI S WHEN YOU’ RE PAYI NG,GOI NG THROUGH YOUR WALLET OR EVEN UNKNOWI NGLY FALL FROM YOUR POCKETS.THE POSSI BI LI TI ES ARE ENDLESS.
MY INTERPRETATION LED ME TO BELIEVE THE OLD MAN USED TO COLLECT THESE COINS FROM HIS TAXICAR WHEN HE WAS A DRI VER.NOW RETI RED,HE USES HI S COLLECTI ON OF MONEY TO MAKE A LI VI NG FOR HI MSELF.SEEI NG THE COI N SELLER BROUGHT BACK MY OWN MEMORI ES OF COI N COLLECTI NG.

HI DDENTREASURE I NTHEJUNKYARD TO ME,SEEING THE COIN SELLERS AND THEIR COIN COLLECTION IN PASAR KARAT WAS LIKE FINDING TREASURE.W ITH TIME COI N COLLECTI NG I S BECOMI NG A DYI NG HOBBY.LESS PEOPLE ARE TRADI NG OR SELLI NG THEM,AND EVEN LESSER PEOPLE ARE AWARE OR I NTERESTED I N COLLECTI NG.I N PASAR KARAT THERE WAS ONLY A VERY FEW VERY OLD COI NS COLLECTORS SELLI NG THESE COI NS.WI LL ANYONE EVEN SELL AFTER THESE OLD COLLECTORS?ALL THE SECONDHAND AND STOLEN I TEMS GETTI NG SOLD I N THE STREET FELT LI KE WAS OVERSHADOWI NG THI S PRI CELESS TREASURE.
