today , after lunch i went to have buttermilk . when i took out 10rs coin to pay to shop keeper, he denied .
shopkeeper: “sir , we dont accept 10 rs coin. please give us note .“,
me:”huh?? why? whats the problem with this coin?”
s:”Sir, its banned by government , dont you know ?”
m: “boss, who told you this ?”
s:”sir you can see Facebook or whatsapp messages, i can show you”
(shows some posts and images which was circulated in his group..)
me:”did PM announce this ? did RBI announce this ? did finance minister announce this ?”
another colleague of shopkeeper:” sir please give note sir , we are receiving counterfeit coins “
me:”this is genuine man , also i donot have change, i only have 500 rs note .”
s:”ok give me”
i gave him 500 rs note and he handed over 490 rs balance to me .
i wonder how ill-informed are people who believe in some fake posts on facebook and whatsapp ..
below is the original circular by RBI(Reserve Bank of India)
PS:please click on image or zoom to see the above circular more clearly
my sincere advice is to people in india , not to believe in Facebook and whatsapp forward messages and post blindly .. refer different genuine sources and then decide.
if my understanding wrong, kindly throw some light on this so that i can know the reality better .
Question of the day :
Have you been in similar situation where anyone has denied to accept 10rs note ?
comment back & share your experience.

Seriously, he gave you change of 490/ Rs. 🙄 So far I have not come across anyone refusing the 10 rs coin.
yes he gave me 490 change. these fake posts has created more confusion in bangalore here
I am amazed by the same, getting 490 Rs. in change is something unbelievable.
Supreet, i think you should try some luck at lottery, you seem to have a good one here😂😂
man!! what else u want u got the change . enjoy that.. but at the same time i worry about people getting distracted by false news
Agreed!
🙄Omg…It’s really strange supreet…I hv not this type of experience dear…lucky me..😛
so even if you come across this situation you can confidently say RBI has not banned. unless there is a genuine announcement.
I havent yet come across such a situation..But I heard this from some sources that the coin is banned..
its not banned. i have attached RBI announcement . be informed 🙂
Yeah…I had already read the post.
🙂thnq for updating
welcome 🙂 thanks for the read 🙂
I too faced the same situation few weeks back… 😔it was quite difficult to make that person understand that it’s a misconception..
sometimes its difficult to argue with them but then few people do understand so be informed 🙂
So, Modi ji banned the notes and I went to this shopkeeper.
I took my stuff and passed him the coin, a ten rupee and he refused to take it.
I was like “Kya hua bhaiya, pese nahi loge?”
And he replied, “Note do yaar.”
“Kyo sikke me kya dikkat hai?”
And he tapped this chocoalte jar in front of me, pura 10 ke coins se bhara hua😂
BooooM!!!bhare hue dabba me ek aur hi sahi . fit ho jayega , lelo karke bolna tha 😉
Hehe, 😂
Will try doing something like that next time😂
Well ,you are right..!! People are becoming so dependent on these fake posts on social media…! Heights…!!!😶😬😕
not just these.. i read and delete many of these in a day .. without second thought they forward it ..
Speechless!!!😐😕
Sounds ridiculous. But yes, people who do not have much access to information, readily believe whatever they come across. I haven’t across this situation yet, but I’m still to find someone who would give me that huge a change. 😛
U can believe me on that. I won’t post anything that’s false 🙂
Absolutely. I didn’t want it sound like I didn’t believe you. I’m rather shocked on how ignorant people get. It’s foolish to believe what comes across on social media, that has hardly anything to do with reality.
yes if you observe. many fake news got circulated after noteban ..
Yes, worst of all was ‘people dying in bank queues’.
I was denied, the tea vendor didn’t accept the coin of rs.10. this was in train..
Yes you see.. People have to get correct information . we educated people should stop spreading false news . then layman will be more informed. Thanks for sharing your experience
I didn’t even know this message was circulated – thankfully I see it in use all around me. It’s sad how some people spread fake news – and people simply forward without verifying it!
There are some coins with lesser or more lines, which many people don’t accept.
Omg.. how stupid that fellow was who actually gave all of his denominator to receive Rs10
About the question?
Well, even before people or shopkeeper says such shit, they stick the paper cutting on their shops published in the newspaper. And if someone denies to take or give it, one can file a complaint against him/her.
let them stick whats right and not what they see on facebook or whatsapp which isnt right .. 🙂
True that. Thanks for sharing.
Ha ha.. this happened to me when I got air for my bike tires and handed a 10 re coin. It was a ‘rumor-got-the ban’! 😀
Seriously. This rumours is infectious
I used 10 Rs coin to buy Amul chaj yesterday no problem
Some are ignorant some are literate
In Uttar Pradesh some time back in a district the Rs. 10 Coin was being boycotted by everyone including a nationalized Bank and that when the District Magistrate came in and announced that Rs. 10 coin is a Legal Tender and anyone rejecting it shall be booked on sedation charges. The 10 Rs. coin is indeed a Legal Tender and NO ONE can reject to accept it. If anyone dares, at least I will bash them and take to task.
I think people need to be informed about correct things .. that’s good thing in UP then
