Buying a dream bike can be a big step for an individual, but the step becomes even more important if you pay the price in Re 1 coins. This is what happened in Mancherial Telangana when a young man carrying 112 bags of Re 1 coins on a small goods vehicle went to a showroom to buy his dream bike. Significantly, the cost of the KTM sports bike was Rs 2.85 lakh, which the polytechnic student paid in coins. The video of the entire incident has been shared on YouTube by a channel named Villain Mama Gaming.
Giving details of the incident, the YouTuber said that he collected the coins over a period of one month and that he had collected 40,000 coins since his childhood. He said the showroom staff were initially hesitant to accept the bag of coins as payment, but immediately accepted as soon as they came to know about the man’s passion for sports bikes. Venkatesh had been saving for the bike for a long time, and his persistence made the KTM dealership personnel wait for half a day to count the coins and finally accept the payment.

Incidents of buying vehicles in coins have become a common thing now. There have been many such incidents in the past also when people have bought their vehicles by paying lakhs of rupees in small notes.
Earlier, V Boobathy, a young man from Tamil Nadu, saved one rupee coins over three years to buy his dream bike from a Bajaj dealership in Salem. The youth bought a Bajaj Dominar 400 motorcycle worth Rs 2.6 lakh with a Re 1 coin.
In a similar incident, a person named Vetrivel bought a brand new Maruti Suzuki Eeco from an authorized Maruti Suzuki dealership with a bag full of Rs 10 coins totaling Rs 6 lakh. Frustrated, Vetrivel took the unprecedented step of buying a new car with Rs 10 coins. He said that his mother runs a grocery store and collects a huge number of these Rs 10 coins, but for some unknown reason, other customers refused to accept the Rs 10 coins.
