TO be fair sir, I bet you could say not just India, but any non-US coins are not very popular here in the US unfortunately.

Thank you for sharing your collection. There are a few of us here who like more coins than just US.

 

Nice coins, Sir.

 

I like Indian coins too. They have a nice look about them.

 

I'm currently living in india in the Gujarat province. I have a bunch of Indian coins but their current versions and not so interesting. I do like the new bi-metallic 10-rupee coins but you don't see them in circulation too often. The exchange rate has swung recently in favor of the dollar so I can now get 56 rupees in lieu of 44 rupees for the greenback. Kind of nice.
