Some Numismatists are crazy. They already started imagining new Indian currency coins with a new Symbol of Rupee. Recently the revolutionary decision is taken by Indian government for Symbol of Rupee.

Check out following image of proposed new 10 Rupee coin with new Symbol of Rupee. What do you feel, is it looking good ?


I feel "Yes" :-)

From long time, Numismatist was waiting for the declaration of new Ruppee Symbol.
Now the Indian rupee have a unique symbol — a blend of the Devanagri 'Ra' and Roman 'R' — joining elite currencies like the US dollar, euro, British pound and Japanese yen in having a distinct identity.

The new symbol, designed by Bombay IIT post-graduate D Udaya Kumar, was approved by the cabinet.

Now desperately waiting for currency having this new symbol. :-)

My expereince in Numismatist exibition


One day, I was roaming in city on my bike. I was looking around and suddenly I have seen an advertisement board. I turned back and seen the advertisement carefully. It was about Exhibition of Numismatics in Nagpur i.e. about coin collection. Hurray!!! I was so excited and was desperately waiting for the opening day of this exhibition.

Finally the day comes! When I entered in exhibition hall, I was stunned; I have not seen such crazy people in India. Loads of people were present on that day. People from many states were present to participate in this exhibition cum sale of COINS. I never saw so many gold coins anywhere which was the main attraction of this exhibition.

Different series of currency notes were also one of the major attractions of this exhibition. Note with series like 111, 222 or 1234567 with all denomination and many more combination which you cannot think off. First time I came to know that damaged notes have value. Damaged means which are miss printed by mint.

Proof sets and mint sets of different countries was acting as magnetism for this exhibition. I could manage to exchange few coins in this event. I informed few people in my friend circle and relatives about this exhibition.

Being a numismatist, it was the mind-blowing experience I ever had. :-)
