The jingle of coins in your pocket is a rare occurrence - now that we have moved to plastic money and e-currency. But coins hold a special place for the study of the past, and also for our nostalgia!  Let&apos;s invest in the introduction of numismatics - the field of study of coins, with examples from India and Sri Lanka.  We have with us Chitramala Tharangini, who is a numismatician, to discuss the nuances of Sri Lankan coinage.  So, flip a coin, and let&apos;s get goin&apos;!  Follow our journey into studying the past on Twitter and Instagram @chippinawayind Drop a line at chippinawayind@gmail.com<a rel="payment" href="https://ko-fi.com/chippinawayind">Support the show</a> (https://ko-fi.com/chippinawayind)
