Question

What were the coins ‘saying’ to him? Do you think they were misguiding him?

Answer 1

The coins were telling him that the hot jalebis coming out of the kadhao were not coming out for nothing. They were meant to be eaten by those who had money in their pockets. Money was meant to be spent, and those who liked jalebis spent their money.
Yes, they were misguiding him because that money was meant for his school fees and not for spending elsewhere.
