Majority of Kenyans keep old coins for a while before throwing them away. Others use them for decoration, but for Benson Muriu, these old coins, including colonial-era relics, not only put food on the table, but also educate his children. Muriu was arrested in February 2016 and charged in a Kiambu court for melting down currency. He pleaded guilty and was fined Sh2,000.
