yeah bbc world service had a pretty long series of shows on the currency changes (getting rid of large notes) and the huge banking headache its caused

govt says it wants to get rid of large notes to help force people holding large amounts of (untraceable) cash to start using banks, combined with restricting the amounts people are allowed to withdraw to prevent them from just swapping out the larger notes for smaller ones and going on business as usual

it pretty much crippled the banks because so many people just use cash for everything and the ATM/teller lines were endless, and nobody can get enough cash to last them long enough lol

i was in India in november and it was a big mess. they didn't get rid of the largest notes, they got rid of the most common ones: 500 and 1000 rupee notes ($10-$20). they introduced a new 2000 rupee for some reason also. i could only get cash at the airport. i almost didn't make it through the week i was there because i couldn't get any of the regular money, and nobody could make change for a 2000. there were officials standing in front of ATMs on the street turning people away because they didn't work any more.

huh, I guess since people kept repeating large currency notes and with the face values I assumed it was a large (denomination) bill :shrug:

I guess people just can't get enough $1s and $20s then

EDIT: I guess before the introduction of the 2000 note, the 1000 and 500 were the largest two, but they were also the most common, so lol all around
