Talking New India 2009 5Rs Coin (Brass)
Hi,
yesterday was a lucky day, was pleasantly surprised when my wife got me these 2 2009 Brass 5 Rs coins (Bombay Mint). They are the same size as the regular cu-ni 5 rs but are half the width/thickness. the edges are milled/reeded.

Best part is, got these as change in a super market and didnt have worry about mint/postage etc etc when i didnt even know that these new coins exist. I have yet to get the bimetallic 10rs coin but these were a big big bonus
Here are the pics

yep they do .. it also means that its time to save on the stainless steel 5 rs coins (wavey waters)... pple (rightly) complain that coin is very similar to 50p stainless steel coin and probably the reason for the new design/metal and the stainless steel 5rs coin could possibly be phased out..
wonder how a commemorative design would like on this metal...... the last time brass (or its combination) was used in indian coins was the 20p in 1971?

couldnt sleep last night.. all excited about posting the pics ... first time i ever had a coin so quickly after it was released... usually takes some time for the coin to come in circulation (an e.g. is the 10rs bimetallic)

They look in great condition too, especially for being found in circulation. Probably didn't get far. Congrats! Nice Coins.

I hope people do not melt them thinking they are gold or for use in jewelery as they did for the older 20p coins. :-)

How disappointed they will be some time in the future, when they´re in need of money

That's so true and hilarious......But this fact only applies for the 20 paise FAO circulating commemorative coin (km#43). My Pop told me that a rumor went out that those coins contained traces of gold and suddenly people started to hoard those coins like mad. Probably the reason why brass/bronze coins were last minted in 1970/71. Some of these coins that I got in childhood got stolen. The mint gotta teach people that all that glitters is not gold.

Hey Mumba....Nice strike for a modern coin. My Calcutta mint is minting rubbish stuff. Just look at the strike of this AU coin.


The coin is not as bad as it looks in the pic....that just my junk scanner...but the stike of all the UNC coins I got are really poor. Nowhere as sharp as Bombay mint.
