Comparatively, the new Rs 100 denomination banknote is much smaller than those in current circulation. Of (66 x 142) mm, to be precise. On one side, there’s smiling Mahatma Gandhi. On another side, signifying the country’s cultural significance, there’s a picture of ‘Rani ki vav’. Rani ki Vav is a stepwell, sited in Patan of Gujarat, on the banks of Saraswati river.
The new note is lavender in color, which might come off as an odd choice for a currency. Why lavender? Is it a flower? It also has many other geometrical designs and patterns across, as is traditional with any Indian currency note.
Of course, many would like it, given its individuality and a feel of freshness. But, if you ask me, the new Rs 100 denomination banknote sucks!
