There is a difference between unreadable (due to unknown script inscribed on it) and unreadable (being worn out (ghis jana))
If it is unreadable (script), voh to chalega, and will have value
but
yadi voh ghis gaya hai then it may not have a value.

Interesting.
I used to be a coin collector during my school and college days. I had a large collection. Still have a collection of few hundred coins though lost many, some stolen by friends and relatives during presentation. Still collecting but not with that urge, that I had during my earlier days. Isnt it strange that when you do not have money to buy all these stuff you have an urge to buy these things and when you have money you loose interest for such things.

RBI issues Rs 100 notes with new numbering pattern


RBI note Printing the numerals in ascending size is a visible security feature in the banknotes so that the general public can easily distinguish a counterfeit note from a genuine one. (Agencies)

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) today said it has issued Rs 100 denomination banknotes in the Mahatma Gandhi Series-2005 with a new numbering pattern.

“Now, the numerals in both the number panels of these banknotes will be in ascending size from left to right while the first three alphanumeric numerical characters will remain constant in size.

“Printing the numerals in ascending size is a visible security feature in the banknotes so that the general public can easily distinguish a counterfeit note from a genuine one,” the central bank said in a release.

First three letters of the 100 rupee note will be alphanumeric and of same size, then onwards, from left to right, the numbers’ size will be ascending.

It, meanwhile, said that all banknotes in the denomination of Rs 100 issued by the bank in the past will continue to be legal tender.

RBI said that, in consultation with the government, it has been improving security features of banknotes in order to check counterfeiting and make it easy for the public to identify genuine banknotes.

The new numbering pattern will be introduced in a phased manner for all other denominations, it added.
