  "account": "A Telangana man, B Ravi Joseph, purchased a ₹1.23 lakh Honda Activa scooter by saving ₹10 coins over a period of three years, according to PTI. Joseph, a church pastor from Luxettipet, initially saved the coins from everyday expenses such as grocery shopping. Although his family was skeptical about his plan, they eventually supported his decision to buy a two-wheeler after his old vehicle faced mechanical issues. Joseph had initially aimed to purchase a Royal Enfield Bullet but had to abandon that plan due to financial constraints. During the saving process, rumors circulated that the ₹10 coins might be discontinued, which worried his family. Despite their concerns, Joseph persisted in accumulating the coins, ultimately reaching the required amount. The showroom manager at Jagadamba Honda Motors in Luxettipet accepted the coins as payment after verifying the total amount through manual counting. Joseph, accompanied by his family, took delivery of the new scooter at the dealership.",
