ReplyDeletei had spoken to a guy @ mint , he said there were 27000 minted(dont know how true it is)
The set was initially issued as 2 per person. On a given day only 30 people could buy any sets.
ReplyDeleteLater around March, this was increased to 5 per person, previously who had taken 2 could take 3 more.
So max of 30 people can buy coins from counter a day. 25 days in a month. 4 months total. Max 5 sets per person. So 30*25*4*5 around 15000. Not everyone of the 30 people bought the sets, not every bought 5 ea.
