Of Coins & Notes....


Data on notes and coins issued by the RBI in the past 13 years shows interesting changes. In 2000-01, the bank issued 10.8 billion 100-rupee notes. This category had the highest value for all notes and coins issued in that year. It was followed by 500-rupee notes, valued at 529 billion. In 2012-13, the total value of all 500-rupee notes issued was 5,360 billion, nearly four times the value of 100-rupee notes issued in the year.The note category which saw the greatest increase in this period is the 1000-rupee note, which had a value of 37 billion in 2000-01 and 4,299 billion 13 years later.
