After all, why the lines started forming in 2 and 10 coins?
A very strange incident happened with two rupees and 10 rupee coins. A ridged design was made in the middle of the coins. The Reserve Bank of India had its logic regarding this design. According to RBI, these lines are used to show harmony. These lines were said to be the symbol of mutual harmony. Four dots were also placed around these lines meeting each other. These designs of coins are no longer in use.
There was a reason to shut them down. There were protests regarding these coins and only after that, they were discontinued.
After all, why were there protests against the coins of 2 and 10 rupees?
Lines made in coins of 2 and 10 rupees were connected to the cross of Christianity. It was believed that Christianity was being promoted by these coins. This protest increased and only after that there was a demand to ban these coins. After this, the production of these coins was stopped by RBI. Now all the coins with four lines present in the market are old. This design is not being used in new coins.
Why was the Rs 10 coin called fake?
The 10 rupee coin was the first coin in which two different metals were used. That's why this coin was of silver and copper colour. Along with this, more than two designs of coins were present in the market. After this, such news started going viral on WhatsApp that fake coins of Rs 10 are present in the market.
Coins are made of which metal?
Till before independence, British government coins were used in India. Even in 1950, there were only three mints in India to make coins, so for a long time only copper and iron coins made by the British government were used. After that, when the trend of 1, 2, 5, and 10 paise coins increased, then the trend of aluminium coins increased. Gradually, these coins stopped and they started being made of nickel and brass. Now coins are made of steel and nickel.
