My grandmother clutched the old ANDAL coin, its worn face whispering stories of Chennai's ancient temples. She'd saved these copper treasures for decades, watching the city transform around her. When the social network launched its heritage cash-in program, she hesitated. Converting memories into digital currency felt wrong. But as she shared her coin's photograph, something unexpected happened. Strangers commented with their own grandmother's stories, their own forgotten treasures. Suddenly, the agitated comments transformed. What began as attack became connection. Her coin mattered. Our history mattered. She smiled, realizing heritage wasn't just preserved in museums. It lived within communities who remembered, who shared, who kept each other's stories alive.
