Mysuru: Even after Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announcing and also clarifying that Rs. 10 coin is a legal tender, a majority of people, especially businessmen in city, are reluctant to transact and exchange coins. Sorting out arguments between customers and vendors has become a daily feature at markets and shops.
In a letter to Star of Mysore, reader and Secretary of Senior Citizens Forum (Rajarajeshwarinagar) R.M. Chetty said that the business community was still apprehensive about accepting Rs. 10 coins. It is a herculean task for a Rs. 10 coin holder to convince shopkeepers, vendors and bus conductors not to turn them down when exchanged for a payment, he has stated.
