The new "10 Rupees" coin

Seen the new 10 Rupess coin? I loved the design. It looks so pretty.

When I first saw it lying on the table I wondered it was the leftover coin from our europe trip last year from one of the countries. Only when I picked it up that I saw that it was our own currency. So how do you like it?



Edited to add:

The size of this coin is almost the size of the old 2 rupee coin with a difference of maybe just one or 2 mm in the dia. And this new 10 Rupees coin is quite light too.

  3. Oh very nice..looks nice.
    I wonder how much your bag weigh now that you start carrying all these coins
    Even 100 rupees in 10 rupee coins would weigh a lot

  4. This one's relatively light though. They'l probably phase out the 50 p and Re 1 coins. But how will we gift the auspicious amount of 101/- if they do that :D.
