A young man bought a new bike worth 1 lakh 80 thousand rupees from a showroom in Hosur, Krishnagiri district, to create awareness about ten rupee coins.
Rajiv (31) hails from Kelamangalam near Hosur. He is working as an administrative superintendent in his own private hospital. Rajiv, who has been saving Rs 10 coins at home for the past three years, decided to buy his favorite TVS Apache bike. For this he has collected ten rupee coins from his friends.
In this case, today he bought a new Apache bike by giving ten rupee coins worth 1 lakh 80 thousand rupees to the bike showroom. For this, Rajiv, who had packed 8 bundles of ten rupee coins in his car, dumped them along with his friends at a place in the showroom.
After this, the showroom employees were engaged in counting ten rupee coins for two hours. After that, after the completion of other works, he was given a new bike by the showroom. Not only in Krishnagiri district but also in Tamilnadu ten rupees coins are invalid. Traders do not buy 10 rupee coins in various places including buses and shops.
Raji and his friends said that they have taken these efforts to create awareness among the public and traders by stressing that ten rupee coins will go.
