Reserve Bank Of India [RBI] — Coins of different shapes

Coins of different shapes.

I am highly thankful to your good selves for regularly supplying coins of 1, 2 and 5. Now, there is no scarcity for coins & the Life of common man is much better.

Senior citizens like me and rural people find it difficult to differentiate the value, as some of the coins are of same size and thickness.

Suggestion:

This inconvenience can be totally eleminated, if coins of 3 different shapes ( round, square like 5 ps coin and hexagon coin like 3 paise coin) are reintroduced.
Even coin with hole in the middle was a popular way to differentiate the coins.

I know that, minting coins with different shapes is difficult and expensive. But, the hardship taken ONCE at your end will help the rural poor, less educated, senior citizens and people with lesser IQ and diminished eye sight. They will derive the benefit everyday, for several years to come! Ease of doing day to day small transactions can be achieved.

Life will certainly be more comfortable than the present situation.

Kindly examine this " user centric" suggestion for the benefit of citizens all over India .
My appreciation to You and Your team for always striving hard to introduce "user centric" methods / facilities.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Ramesh B M
