India's Historic Coins and Currency India has recently gone through a process of 'demonetization' which involved mass scale replacement of of high value currency notes, to curb the menace of 'black money' and fake currency. There is a rich history of how currency notes and coins were prepared and used in India. We bring here a list of useful resources on India's historic coins and currency.
