How many days do you get to wake up in the morning and see a river flowing right beneath your window? How many times in a lifetime do you get to end your evening walk amidst a world wonder? Have you ever taken the road which “really” leads you to Rome? Italy gives you a chance to do all this and more!!
I am just back from a hectic day of touring Berlin (central area). I was so tired at the end of it all that I could barely move my legs to catch my return train. Yet here I am, a day later, trying to put into these few words what could, perhaps, be one of the most engrossing capital cities of the world!

aper Currency Act provided Government of India the monopoly of issuing notes thus curbing the note issuance authority of Private and Presidency Banks[1]. Paper notes of values ranging from 10, 20, 50, 100 and 1000 were issued during British India period. Even at the primitive times of manufacturing these notes the manufacturer (Laverstock Paper Mills) issued it along with few prominent security features that include watermark, printed signatures and note registration[2]
In addition to above a rather peculiar practice was followed. British India Notes facilitated inter-spatial transfer of funds. As a security precaution, notes were cut in half. One set was sent by post. On confirmation of receipt, the other half was dispatched by post! Talk about extreme measures!!

I’d be covering some of the security features available in the currency we use daily in this three part series (thanks to bench life). What I would not be discussing is the economy/ fall and rise of the INR. I would try to make it as informative as possible and highlight many of those features that would otherwise go noticed…
