How many rupees coins are found in India?

Currently in India, coins are in circulation in price classes ranging from 50 paise to 20 rupees. Of these, coins of Rs 1, Rs 2, 5 rupees and 10 rupees are usually seen in the market easily and there are large-scale use in the transactions of daily life. The coin of 20 rupees has been released in recent years and its trend is increasing gradually. At the same time, 50 paise coin is now seen very little, but it is still legally valid in the Indian currency system. This means that you can use it in any government or bank transaction. The government has not officially excluded it, so its validity status still remains. Apart from this, coins of 75, 90, 125, 150 and 1000 rupees have also been issued. However, these coins are not used in common transactions.

100 rupee coin continued

Recently, on the occasion of completion of 100 years of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi issued a memorial coin and a postage stamp of 100 rupees at a special ceremony in Delhi. This was the first time a picture of Bharat Mata was printed on a coin. This coin is also special because for the first time in the history of independent India, a picture of Bharat Mata has been printed on a coin. On one side of the coin, the national symbol of India and the picture of Bharat Mata on the other side shows the spirit of the RSS volunteers dedicated to the country.

On the occasion of the centenary year of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Prime Minister Narendra Modi released a specially designed postage stamp and a memorial coin of Rs 100 at a ceremony held at Dr. Ambedkar International Center in Delhi.

The organization has made significant contribution in areas like education, health, disaster relief and social service. Published postage stamps and monuments are a symbol of these contributions and honor the services of the organization.

He reminded that in 1963 the RSS volunteers attended the Republic Day Parade on 26 January and had to tune the patriotism. PM Modi further said that this postage stamp cherishes the memory of the same historical moment. Also, it also has a glimpse of those volunteers of the Sangh, who are constantly engaged in the service of the country and are strengthening the society.

PM Modi’s message towards Sangh

The Prime Minister said that several attempts were made to stop the Sangh from getting into the mainstream, Guruji was sent to jail in false cases, but the Sangh never adopted bitterness. The volunteers of the Sangh are not different from the society, they are part of the society and they always maintained faith in democracy and constitutional institutions. PM Modi said that despite many challenging circumstances of the society, the Sangh is still adamant like a Virat Vat tree.
