FACT OF INDIAN COINS

 

FACTS OF INDIAN COINS

Coins of the Indian rupee (INR) were first minted in 1950. In India, the Finance Ministry is responsible for the minting of coins and printing of one rupee notes.

The India Government Mint operates four mints in the country for the production of coins:

Currently,we are using One Rupee, Two Rupees, Five Rupees, Ten Rupees and Twenty Rupees







Do you think why government of India reducing the size coins?

See this one rupee coin. First one was introduced in 2001 and second in 2012.





 

Every coin has two values One is called the "Face Value" of the coin and the second value is its "Metallic Value".

Face Value of Coin:

It means that "amount written on the coin”. See the above picture, If 1 rupee is written on any coin, it would be called its face value.

Metallic value of coin: 

It means that, the monetary value of the metal used in the formation of the coin. If a coin is melted and its metal is sold in the market in 2 rupees then 2 rupees would be called the metallic value of the coin.

For example, If a person have a coin of  Rs.1, and he plan to melts that coin and going to sell that metal in the market for Rs.2, then he will get the profit of Rs.1. So If all the peoples started to do this process then all the coin will vanish from the market

For this reason why the government tries that the metallic value of any coin should remain less than its face value so that people do not get encourage to melt the coin.

How will you find the mint place of coins?

Fibonacci Sequence

  Fibonacci Sequence The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ... The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it: the 2 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1), the 3 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+2), the 5 is (2+3), and so on! Example: the next number in the sequence above is 21+34 =   55 It is that simple! Here is a longer list: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393, 196418, 317811, ... Makes A Spiral When we make squares with those widths, we get a nice spiral: Do you see how the squares fit neatly together? For example 5 and 8 make 13, 8 and 13 make 21, and so on. This spiral is found in nature! See:  Nature, The Golden Ratio, and Fibonacci The Rule The Fibonacci Sequence can be written as a "Rule" (see  Sequences and Series ). First, the terms are numbered from 0 onwards like this: n = 0 1 2 3

Circle

  Circle   A circle is easy to make: Draw a curve that is "radius" away from a central point. And so: All points are the same distance from the center. You Can Draw It Yourself Put a pin in a board, put a loop of string around it, and insert a pencil into the loop. Keep the string stretched and draw the circle!   The  Radius  is the distance from the center outwards. The  Diameter  goes straight across the circle, through the center. The  Circumference  is the distance once around the circle. And here is the really cool thing: When we divide the circumference by the diameter we get 3.141592654... which is the number  π  ( Pi ) So when the diameter is 1, the circumference is 3.141592654...   We can say: Circumference =  π  × Diameter Example: You walk around a circle which has a diameter of 100m, how far have you walked? Distance walked = Circumference =  π  × 100m =  314m  (to the nearest m) Also note that the Diameter is twice the Radius: Diameter = 2 × Radius And so this is
