“RBI has launched new notes of denomination Rs. 5000, Rupee 1 and new coins of denomination Rs. 150, Rs. 100 and Rs. 20”
What FACTLY found
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has not launched Rs. 5000 currency note. The photo of One Rupee currency note is real. In 2015, it was re-introduced by the Government of India. Rs. 150, Rs. 100 and Rs. 20 coins in the photos are commemorative but not legal tender. However, 20-rupee coins are officially in circulation since 2020
