Lonely Planet review

If you're in the area, it's worth popping into the tiny and thoughtfully-presented Monetary Museum, run by the Reserve Bank of India. It's an engrossing historical tour of India through coinage: from early concepts of cash, to the first coins of 600 BC, through Indo-European influences, right up to today's Gandhi-covered notes. Also on display is the world's smallest coin, probably found in the crack of an ancient couch.
