Mysore/Mysuru: Prime Minister Narendra Modi banned the currencies Rs. 500 and Rs.1,000 denomination four years ago. But these ‘out of circulation’ notes are still being dropped into temple ‘Hundi’ (offering box) with hopes of banks exchanging these notes with the valid currency. Staff of Srikanteshwara Temple in Nanjangud was shocked when they found banned currencies worth Rs. 97,000 in Hundi. As many as 12 notes of Rs. 1,000 denomination and 170 notes of Rs. 500 denomination were found.
