Very nice & attractive collection of coins seen by me . This I have never seen before. Currencies from ancient time to current era are displayed in very well manner. Security guards are arranged for security as well as describer. Mr. Jaiprakash Rao - The Manger of this Heritage Coins museum described each and every thing regarding working & maintenance and management. They also told that no fee is charged for visiting in museum since inception. I have seen not only old paper currency, stone currency, gold currency, silver currency & current currency but also seem foreign currency, misprint currency and special currency.Also we can see oldest form of affidavits to newest one.

I made a visit to this museum and really got mesmerized to see the great collection of coins and currency notes. Also got to understand the story of the founder and legendary person Mr Haji Abdulla who was a true philanthropist.
Mr Uday, the security staff guided us as well and gave us profound knowledge about various ancient coins, by imparting valuable information which we were unaware of. He seems to be passionate about the whole thing and found him very humble and polite.
Photography inside the museum was not allowed but you can really spend good time knowing the history of coins as well as about the legend.
A must visit for adults and kids and surely not to miss this opportunity at Udupi when the entry is absolutely free.
