Mintage World would like to thank Mr. Jayesh Gala for the use of images of the banknotes of Republic India and for his valuable consultation on the banknotes on the website.

Jayesh Gala, born and brought-up in Mumbai, is a well-known notaphilist with an enviable collection of Republic Indian Banknotes with prefixes and those depicting mystical numbers. His fascination with Indian Paper Money began as a childhood hobby and enabled him to follow his passion as he built his business in notaphily in 2008. His increasing passion turned into research and in 2011, he co-authored the book, A Standard Guide to Indian Paper Money, which covered banknotes, issued between 1947 and 2010 and has been described as a brilliant source of information for types and prefixes of Indian paper money.

In 2012, he penned down 'Fancy Numbers Power N Mystic'; a book which is a goldmine of knowledge and research. The book covers a unique subject in the field of notaphily and throws light upon the mystical world hidden in the serial numbers printed on Indian paper money and describes 48 types of mystical numbers.
