Yesterday was another such day when I got not one, but two brand new coins (at least for me!). A seen-for-the-first-time 10 Rupee coin, which looks suspiciously close to the Euro, and a thinner, smaller and golden 5 Rupee coin.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me proudly present the new coins to you, both sides of the same.
P.S: 5 Rupee coin courtesy a meat shop in Gurgaon, and the 10 rupee coin was provided by my sister in law.

the 10rs coin look so dubious. You sure you didn't mint it yourself?
Ha ha, no I didn't! In fact I learned today that they have been in circulation for sometime now - http://www.careers-india.com/2009/04/14/govt-of-india-releases-new-10-rupee-coin/
I had read about the 10 rupee coin on the net and thought it to be some sort of hoax. Did you try buying anything using the coin ? :)
I would rather live in my apparent illusion that it is fine than try buying things with it! A rare case where the perceived value is higher than the intrinsic value of money!
ohhh didnt know this! cute :)
@Nags - Next time you are in India you can shop with these:)
Good coin, i m finding gold more incert in this coin. New addition.
