RIP 25 Paisa Coin – Today was the last day of chavanni
Time Line of 25 Paisa

Few days back Reserve Bank of India announced that "Coins of denomination of 25 paise and below will cease to be legal tender from June 30, 2011. These will not be accepted for exchange at bank branches from July 1, 2011 onwards.


Before 25 Paisa government has phased out 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 and 20 paise coins.

Now 50 Paise coin has become the lowest denomination.

50 Paise is a half a Rupee.

The word paisa is actually a borrowing from the Persian language

In September 1955, the Indian Coinage Act was amended for the country to adopt a metric system for coinage. One Rupee got divided into 100 Paisa and the 2.5 grams nickel 25 paise coin was also introduced.

It is a wrong decision by RBI. There are four quadrants in maths. It is there because of some importance. So 1/4th of a rupee must have a mathematical significance.
