Well done to the young man.
I am sure some of our members have a collection to rival that.

Definitely not a "world" record maybe an India record... nice collection nevertheless if you overlook the glow in the dark coin and gold plated plastic "note" etc.

"He has a total of 410 currency notes from various nations including 189 member nations of the current UN and 27 Island and Overseas Territories."
I even doubt this is an Indian record. 410 banknotes isn't much. Just buy five lots of "100 mixed world banknotes" from ebay, and you have beaten the record with 90 banknotes.
If you go all the way to the bottom you'll read: "However, both of these record holders have a long way to go if they want the national level record to be a world record. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the largest collection of banknotes in the world belongs to a Lebanese man called Wissam Ali Youssef. He holds around 12,282 different banknotes spanning hundreds of countries with an estimated value of $294,408.33 (approximately Rs 2,16,26,696)."
