After using his savings in coins to purchase a new scooter, a man from Assam, India, gained notoriety on social media. Md Saidul Hoque, a small business owner from Guwahati, had spent years working hard to build up the cash needed to purchase his ideal scooter. He had been saving Rs1, Rs2, Rs5 and Rs10 coins for the last 5-6 years. Hoque, a local of Guwahati's Boragaon neighbourhood, paid for the bike with coins he brought in a sack to the shop. "I'm so glad after buying a scooter with coins I saved. I am running a small shop and it was my dream to buy a scooty. I started to collect coins 5-6 years ago. Finally, I fulfilled my dream. I am so happy now," Saidul Hoque said. A video shared by news agency ANI shows Mr Hoque heading to a showroom with a sack full of coins to buy a scooter. A few employees of the showroom are later seen counting the coins worth Rs90,000 that have been stored in jars. Manish Poddar, owner of the two-wheeler showroom, said, "When the customer came to our dealer to buy a scooty with his saved coins, I was so delighted." "When my executive told me that, a customer had come to our showroom to buy a scooty with his saved coins, I was delighted, because I have seen such news on TV and read in the paper. I wish Saidul will buy a four-wheeler also in future. My executive told me that he had dreamed of buying a two-wheeler and had been collecting the coins over the last 5-6 years". "He has come to our showroom with a sack of coins around Rs 90,000," the owner of the two-wheeler showroom added.
