On the occasion of Dhanteras, Nepal Rashtriya Bank was selling 2.5 gm gold coins on a first-come, first-buy basis, limited to one coin per person. Thousands of people stood in the queue since morning at NRB’s minting office at Babarmahal to purchase gold coins.

在 Dhanteras 之際，尼泊爾國家銀行以先到先得的方式出售 2.5 克金幣，每人限購一枚金幣。自早上以來，數千人在 Babarmahal 的 NRB 造幣辦公室排隊購買金幣。

A man, who was in the queue from 8 am, could reach the entry gate at 3 pm to purchase a gold coin, while other buyers complained of standing in a long queue and doubting if they would be able to make it even after this long wait. Gold is considered auspicious and used in Laxmi Puja during the Tihar celebration.

一名男子從早上8點開始排隊，下午3點就可以到達入口處購買金幣，而其他買家則抱怨排了很長的隊，懷疑排了這麼長時間是否還能買到。黃金被認為是吉祥的，在 Tihar 慶祝活動期間的 Laxmi Puja 中使用黃金。
