There have been changes in the 10-rupee coins at different times. Due to these changes, people are often confused as to which coin is real. People are confused about the design of the coin. RBI has also issued guidelines regarding this. Let's talk about it first.
RBI released a press release in 2017. They have talked about 14 different designs. Which they have launched till 2017. Along with this, RBI also said that all these coins with different designs are real.
The 10-rupee coin is bi-metallic, which means that it is made by mixing two different metals. The weight of a fake coin can be very light or heavy. On the other hand, if you hit the real coin hard on something, you will hear a sound.
On the other hand, if the fake coin is hit on something, then it will hear a hollow sound. You can also detect it from the color and shape of the coin that comes out. But we always fail in terms of design.
How to identify a real coin from a design
Although you can get information about 14 different designs issued by RBI in the press release. But this update is from 8 years ago. If you want updated information, then you can also find out through a call.
To identify the real coin, you have to call on the Reserve Bank's toll-free number 14440. As soon as you call, it will be disconnected. After which you will immediately get a call from IVR. Through this call, you will be told about the real coin.
At present, the largest currency is 500 rupees. Apart from this, notes of 10, 20, 50, and 100 are also available. Earlier, notes of 1000 and 2000 were issued by the government. Which has now been discontinued. Because the risk of fraud or corruption increases with a larger currency.
