  1. Hi.my name is umair.i live in bangalore. I too share the same hobby as yours. Of collecting different currencies. I had heard that the rbi had issued polymer 10 rupee note. If so , have u seen it .I am kindly looking forward to seeing the new polymer based indian rupee notes. I have my own idea of the design of the new indian currency.i felt that rbi should launch a national rupee design project which should be open to all.
