This decision was revealed at the 51st meeting of Vaishnodevi Board chaired by Governor N N Vohra, who is also chairman of the Board, at Raj Bhawan here.
it would be good to know what size thes Rs 5 and Rs 10 coins are to be.
1 oz each? 1/20th oz?
every ounce tightens the noose on JP
It doesn’t say what material the coins are made of.
