To buy anything in the market we need cash. Although, after the introduction of UPI, the use of cash has reduced in the country as compared to before, even today most of the population of the country prefers to purchase things through cash only. These notes get wet in water many times and keep getting twisted. Even after that nothing happens to them. If there is any other paper, it can easily get spoiled. Do you know from which paper 100, 200, and 500 rupee notes are made? Many people believe that Indian notes are made of paper, but in reality it is not so. If notes were made from paper, they would not last long. In this series, let us know how notes are made in India.
The notes we have of Rs 10, 20, 50, 100, and 500 are not made from paper but with the help of 100 percent cotton. Reserve Bank of India has informed about this on its website.
For your information, let us tell you that a special type of fiber called Lenin is found in cotton fiber. Gatlin and adhesive solutions are also used while making notes.
Due to this, the lifespan of the note becomes much longer and it does not spoil quickly. Apart from this, at the time of printing of the note, many types of security features are included in it, so that the fake note cannot be made exactly like it.
Due to this uniqueness of notes, people easily identify between real and fake notes. Due to these characteristics of notes, their lifespan is quite long.
