Chandigarh: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is offering a rare chance to get a glimpse of now demonetised Rs 5,000 and Rs 10,000 notes and to trace the journey of bank notes from 1938 onwards when RBI took over the function of issue of Bank notes.

A four-day exhibition 'Banknotes issued by RBI' that opened here today is a numismatist's delight as it offers interesting facts like when RBI came into being, notes with the portrait of King George V.

Addressing mediapersons after inaugurating the event at RBI premises here, Regional Director, RBI, Chandigarh Jasbir Singh said that this exhibition will provide a unique opportunity to general public to learn about the history of notes and to have a glimpse of the actual rare old notes.

The exhibition, a part of RBI's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations, attracted a large number of visitors on the first day itself.

The curious visitors lapped up information like the first note issued by RBI was that of Rs 5 followed by other denominations, RBI's first issues were signed by Sir James Taylor, the second Governor of RBI with the portrait of King George VI and the 'Security Thread' was introduced in 1944 and much more.
