Government announces all new Rs 100 coin, here's what we know

12 Sep. 21:01

In a big announcement coming from the Finance Ministry of India, coins of Rs 100 will be introduced in the country for the first time ever in its history. The new coin will be launched to mark the birth anniversary of MG Ramachandran, founder of Tamil Nadu-based political party AIADMK.

The Ministry of Finance released a statement on Monday notifying that the new Rs 100 coin as well as coin of Rs 5 will be introduced soon by Reserve Bank of India.

The statement further read that the circular Rs 100 coin will be 44 mm in diameter with Lion Capitol of Ashoka Pillar (picture), Satyamev Jayte (text) and Bharat (text in Devnagri script) engraved on the face of it.

The backside of the coin will have the portrait of MG Ramachandran and it will weigh around 35 grams.

The highest denomination coin in circulation right now in the country is Rs 10 which weighs around 7.7 grams and has a diameter of 27 mm.

Since denotifying Rs 500 and Rs 1000, Narendra Modi-led BJP government has introduced a host of new currencies. After launching new Rs 2000 and Rs 500 notes earlier this year, RBI recently pushed all new Rs 200 note along with new Rs 50 note into circulation.

Just  leaked by Evan Blass , the Nokia 2 looks… well, like a generic cheap phone. If you have a visceral hate of bezels, you’ll probably want to close this post and move on, but design is hardly the point here. Blass didn’t share any details about the Nokia 2, but we can make some educated guesses based on some other clues we’ve got about the phone. First, you might have noticed that the phones in the leaked renders show October 5 as the date. Dates in renders are often set to match the launch time, but this could be an old render and there’s still time for things to change. Read more Han...

PTA should have more authority and a right to put their points across in all school matters, especially when it comes to the safety of their children.
