As the years pass by, our standards of
living always keeps on increasing. And with that, there is a need to release
higher denomination currency. Many a times we hear of stories from our parents
and grandparents of how they used to buy a lot of things with just 1 rupee or
some paisas for that matter. The 100 rupees Indian Notes that we use today might not fetch you anything in
maybe 20 years. Its value could be as much a 1 rupee of today’s times. That’s
what made me curious about Indian notes
and I started collecting them a few years back. I first started collecting Indian notes of 1 rupee denomination. I
started looking out for the different kinds of designs that are featured on
them. I started looking up on the internet for currency notes in India of the denomination one. Then, I realized
that collecting Indian notes is a
hobby that many pursue.
That’s what got me going, I started
networking with other collectors like me. There are some who have been
collecting Indian notes since 30
years, 40 years and so. It feels great to stay in touch with such experts
because they keep sharing their insights and opinions about various aspects
related to the hobby. I think it is very important to connect with the
fraternity at a deeper level for this wonderful hobby to survive. After I ended
my quest for collecting 1 rupee Indian
notes, I moved on to other denominations. I recently came to know that high
value denomination like 1000 rupees was also issued back in the times of East
India Company. Then it struck me that 1000 rupees in those days might be worth
crores of rupees of today’s times. I asked myself why are Indian notes of the denomination 1 crore released now then? I did a
bit of research and found out that such high denominated banknotes are issued
by governments only to tackle the problem of inflation.
