New 10 Rs Coin In India Now

New 10 Rs Coin In India Now has come,RBI is ready to issue a new bimetallic 10 Rupee coin for circulation.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?

The look: The obverse side has the lion capitol with numeral 10 and year of manufacture. On reverse side, a double line cross with a dot in each pellet of cross and denomination written in Hindi and English around. This design has been prepaed by National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad with the theme of Unity in Diversity. The outer side metal is Nickel-Bronze and the inner side metal is Ferrous Steel. The weight of the coin would be 8 grams and the diameter would be 28 mm.

The new coins would be made of ferratic stainless steel and nickel-bronze as a security measure against counterfeit coins.
