Salami ledger
Eid salami is the money children get from elders after greeting them on Eid, and many kept a careful written tally.
Era: 90s & 2000s
What it was like
Who gave how much, the grand total, whether it beat a sibling's: it all went in the book. Crisp new notes were a bonus joy.
At the end there was only one question: would the money stay with you, or be 'kept safe' by your mother?
