    it was a news couple of days back .. i found this info times of india site

    "Currently, coins in India are issued in denominations of 10, 20, 25 and 50 paisa (small coins) and Rs 1, Rs 2 and Rs 5 (rupee coins). But coins can be issued up to the denomination of Rs 1,000 as per the Coinage Act, 1906. "

    don't know what we'll do with rs.1000 coin ... prob children asking their parents "Mom, pls give me Rs.1000 coin i wanna buy a toffee' he he he
