There is a fascinating collection of old currency and a potted history of how the Dirham was born, uptil 1973 the Indian Rupee was standard currency here. If this has whetted your appetite for some jewellery, click here to see how you could dip some silver and turn it into gold ! Do let me know by leaving a comment if this has tempted you to see the exhibition, thanks Monica.
