As per my experience, recently I have been to Dharamshala and Maclloedganj, at a place I had my brkfast and after paying to the hotel owner she gave back two 50-paisa coins along with the other cash to me. It was really a great surprise to me and i was wondering that where to use those coins as now I am back in Delhi but those two coins are still with me.

Legally, you have to go to the Reserve Bank of India, where they exchange the note for a brand new one, free of cost. Or if you live in a society (I doubt that), you have these guys who come around every Sunday and replace it for a nominal charge.

Or you can always use my trick. You go to dhabhas regularly, go and eat over there, and when it comes to paying the bill, place that note over there, and tell ‘em thats the last note you’ve got.

“Bhai sahab, yeh note nahi chalega, main kya karunga iska?”

“Jaise maine chalaya, waise tu bhi chala”
