  2. When the Currency was being printed ... there was a debate as to what should be the plural of Rupee in Hindi, should it be Rupaya or Rupaye.
    Initially if you see the older notes, in Hindi you would find it written as "ya" ... finally the debate was settled and the correct form was "ye". There were similar debates for Urdu as well as Kashmiri ... and incorrect kashmiri or urdu indicates the older written form than the agreed correct form.

  4. Why certain notes are expensive is just a question of demand and supply. Narishmhan was governor only for 6 months and hence less note were printed. Hence some of his notes are expensive. S Jagannathan apart from the Rs 50 fist issue and the Rs 100 cobalt blue are not expensive. Again in collecting there is no logical reason for anything being expensive ... its simply the price someone is willing to pay.

  5. Hi there,

    I am having a no number 1000 rs. note, is there any rarity in it and can it fetch a good value. Please let me know.

    Thanks

  6. A Note without a number is an error note. Is the number missing on both top right and bottom left corners?

    Such errors are definitely rare and if your note is in Mint condition, then it will fetch a good amount, at-least 5 to 10 times the value depending on who's signed it etc ... if possible mail me a scanned image.

  15. I like to know that how people decided that this note or bundle belongs to any series?

    For example: we have A1 to A59 series for 1Re note. Now say I have 1 Re note and I want to decide which series it does belongs. On what basis we can do so?

    We say KRK Menon is A1. Why on what basis?

    As its very clear that there is no mentioning of such series exists on Currency notes or even on RBI bank information.

  16. You are right, RBI has just printed notes. However in coin collecting one is interested in themes. To make things easier a leading / well known collectors comes out with a Book. In order to easily identify the notes a numbering convention is adopted. A - Means Rs 1, B - Rs 2 etc. And a running number giving different types [Governor, Insets, etc]. As Jhunjunwala's book is most popular in Indian Currencies and the numbering convention used by him is most popular with collectors and dealers. This becomes very convenient for people to refer and avoids confusion. So the

    5. This is strange. Currency in circulation almost double. It looks like to be an accounting issue as to what RBI treats "Currency in Circulation". However I am confirm 100% there were no Rs 2 notes printed after 1996. If it was small number, one could have said, they were printed but not distributed. However the timing and quantity does not match the theory and hence invalid. No clue why there is such a large discrepancy.

  24. There were also notes of Rs 5000 and Rs 10000 which were introduced in 1949 and discontinues in 1954.

    Some articles also mention that these notes were re-introduced and later banned in 1978.
    You may want to check and add it to your blog.
