Summary:

By Express News ServiceBENGALURU: Repeated circulars issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) seem to have failed to convince many people, commercial establishments and banks to accept Rs 10 coins. “According to RBI directions, I am accepting Rs 10 coins. People can lodge their complaints against commercial establishments at any police station for not accepting Rs 10 coins,” the spokesperson added. Confusion over coin started around four years ago with a WhatsApp message that banks are not accepting the coins. The rumour spread like wildfire and soon most of the people started refusing to accept Rs 10 coins..
