The lead reads as a history of what happened in 2010, 2016 demonitisation, release of new notes. Please rewrite the lead — DaxServer (talk) 16:37, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved that material into the body, where it should have gone in the first place. However, the article now has a very short lead indeed and needs new material that summarises the body content, per MOS:LEAD. I suggest that an Indian editor should do that, please. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 20:27, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Now ₹2 and ₹5 aren't frequently used please consider replacing by them ₹100 or ₹50.

₹20 is more familiar than 1, 2 and 5 does. αμαλ (talk) 19:42, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It depends on the frequent exchange of money in the market,.... coins and rupees which are less in the market, they come in rare section. ₹2 and ₹5 coins are frequently used, ₹20 rupee new coin is very less in market, so this rare. — B203GTB (talk) • 02:49, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually bro, that's the section for coins and yes THEY ARE THE MOST FREQUENTLY USED COINS. So please try to understand what you are writing or asking. Therapist dog (talk) 12:54, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These edits of mine keep getting reverted without a decent explanation. In prose an amount in rupees is almost always appended with "/-" (ie. "rupees only"), and "Rs" is demonstrably still in common use as many keyboards do not yet support "₹". I also believe it is highly inappropriate and ahistorical to prefix "₹" in contexts from before the sign existed.TheCurrencyGuy (talk) 11:41, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why would it be ahistorical to use a symbol? You can refer to the Colossus of Rhodes being "33 m" tall despite the fact that the "m" notation and indeed the meter didn't exist at the time. PraiseVivec (talk) 19:24, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That is description in modern terms though, not a representation of something historic. TheCurrencyGuy (talk) 21:28, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia, by its very nature as an encyclopaedia, aims to be a description in modern terms of things current and past. While it would be incorrect to refer to, say, the price of a loaf of bread in ancient Rome as costing €0.5 (and a difficult currency conversion to make :) ), there's nothing wrong with, for example, referring to the price of something in 1880s Sweden as, ex., 18kr. If it was rupees then, and it's rupees now, there is nothing wrong with using the modern symbol of "₹" to refer to it - and if it ensures consistency throughout the article, then it's positive! Hentheden (talk) 07:53, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I believe consistency should apply only in appropriate situations. For example the Turkish lira article refrains from using "₺" in reference to things pre-dating the adoption of that symbol. These are extremely similar situations as these signs were both introduced in the 2010s. It would be misleading to a reader with no knowledge of the subject, they might assume the sign has a longer history than it actually has. I also find it jarring that all uses of Re./Rs. have been removed, even though it is demonstrably still in common use (as per many already cited references).
