History

The third section highlights how the transition from coins to bank notes has taken place over the years as well as the concept of banking. The fourth section, along with a tour of indigenous banking, ‘hundis’ and other financial instruments, gives a glimpse of the early bank notes in India which evolved in late 18th to early 19th century down to the present. The next two sections introduce the visitor to how the demand and supply of currency is managed in the country. It also explains the security features of bank notes.For students, the museum has interactive information kiosks and money games. The kiosks give comprehensive details with enlarged images about the displays and the games through which children can learn various features and facts of currency notes and coins. The museum also furnishes information to students and the curious who may want to know more about Indian numismatics and the RBI. The museum definitely increases your knowledge about Indian currency. For instance, paper money, as we know it today, was introduced in India in late 18th century at a time of intense political turmoil and uncertainty in the wake of the collapse of the Mughal Empire and the advent of the colonial powers. The changed power structure, the upheavals, wars, and colonial inroads led to the eclipse of indigenous bankers, as large finance in India moved from their hands to agency houses that enjoyed state patronage. Many agency houses established banks.
