Know Your Bank Notes
Currency notes reflect the nation’s rich and diverse culture, her struggle for freedom
and her proud achievements as a nation.
With a view to bringing the identity closer to the cultural heritage of the country
as also for showcasing her scientific advances, a new series of notes in a new
design is being launched.
The new design bank notes are distinctly different from the current Mahatma Gandhi
Series of bank notes in colour, size and theme. The theme of the new series notes
is India’s heritage sites.
A few new other elements added in these notes are numerals in devnagari and the
logo of Swachh Bharat. The new notes also have design elements in myriad and intricate
forms and shapes.
While the security features in the current series of bank notes, such as water mark,
security thread, latent image of denomination numeral, denomination numeral in colour
shifting ink, number panels, see through register, electro-type, bleed lines, etc.,
continue to remain, their relative positions may have changed in the new design
notes.
