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!

We have with us Chitramala Tharangini, who is a numismatician, to discuss the nuances of Sri Lankan coinage.
So, flip a coin, and let's get goin'!
