The RBI manages currency in India and has a role in currency management under the Reserve Bank of India Act of 1934. The national currency is the one rupee coin. However, it was demonised in 2019.
The RBI issues rupee coins in various metals in values such as 50 paise, 1 rupee, 2 rupees, 5 rupees, and 10 rupees. The majority of those coins depict King Ashoka.
