Banker converts home into money museum

A 72-year-old man surnamed Zhang has built his small home into a mini-museum for banknotes and coins from all over the world, in Zhengzhou, Henan Province.

Zhang, a retired banker, collected more than 10,000 different kinds of banknotes and coins over the past two decades. His collection includes many rare and precious coins. His friends and relatives were the first to see it, but it has since become a tourist attraction.
