Comment

In a country of 400 languages and over a dozen writing systems, it's important to think carefully about which ones to use. Most Indian scripts have their own numeral system, and numbers can be written in many different ways. This is where the design of Professor Anil Sinha of the National Institute of Design came into play. As well as using Arabic-Indian numerals to indicate their values, the 1, 2 and 5 rupee coins featured images of hands showing the appropriate number of fingers.

Interesting fact

The 1 Rupee coin from India, made of stainless steel and weighing 4.8 grams, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. It has a raised rim on both sides, which makes it easily identifiable and accessible to visually impaired individuals. This feature was introduced to comply with the Reserve Bank of India's guidelines for making currency accessible to all, including those with visual impairments.
