Hi folks, Folks who like making unusual craft items may be interested in this interesting item with its links to old Indian currency. http://www.knittingdaily.com/blogs/traditions_today/archive/2012/09/04/a-holed-anna.aspx?a=kr120908 I'm taking it along to our church craft group tomorrow morning as an idea for purses to sell at our next fete. I noted a reader on the knitters' list said that hardware stores sell metal washers which could be used if the coins are no longer available! Cheers Ainslie.

That's lovely - a little bit like the traditional Dorset buttons we use to get over in UK. I have a couple of hundred nayah pice coins (spelling, somebody?) which we used to 'bet' with when playing mah-jong!!

Still have some of the old holey 'dubs'...what a brilliant idea, but it does hide the coin! Kind Regards Kerry
