The RBI will be
issuing Rs.2,000 denomination notes shortly according to sources. The Rs.2,000
denomination notes printing has been completed at the Mysuru currency printing
facility. The notes are being despatched according to Business Line citing
sources. However, it added that neither the government nor the Central Bank
confirmed the development. Currency notes and coins are printed/minted by the
government of India on the advice of the Reserve Bank of India, which also
estimates the denomination-wise currency needs, and co-ordinates with the
government on design and security aspects.
