Nowadays the Rs 1 and 2 coins are almost useless, all you can do with them is keep them in Gullak (pigibank) and use that pigibank as a paperweight!I have a small coin collection which has Indian coins from 1902 till 2008. I sometimes used to look at them and wonder 1/2 anna mein kya aata hoga? 10-15 years down the line our kids will wonder.. 1 - Rs mein kya aata hoga?
Anyways with the launch of Rs 10 coin, protests have already begun! Some NGOs are complaining that its structure is very similar to Rs 2 coin, so the blind people would have a real problem and are at a risk of loosing 8Rs everytime! I wonder if our government thinks about people before taking such steps?
Anyways, do let me know when anyone of you come across Rs 10 coin in market! Coz after the announcement, the typical sarkari system would atleast take 5 years to launch the coin!!

10rs coin is also heavy , to bohot sara jinga lala hoiga
10 ka coin...I don't find it of any use...coz cillars are for breaking prime currency ..and I guess 10 rupee is stilla prime currency...or may be ab 100 rupaye k badle bhi cillar mila karenge :P
Looks pretty cool.
and btw, our govt definitely thinks about blind people - note that our currency notes have different sizes and raised marks for blind people, unlike the US dollar. The cross embossed behind the coin should make it different from the Rs 2 coin IMO.
i almost had 70rs-coin experience (1 euro)
so i can take this change! :)
they once launched a 100 rupee coin.. dunno why its still not in existance
