“The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is set to issue a ₹ 7 coin honouring cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni for his contributions to Indian cricket.”
What FACTLY found
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has not announced the release of a ₹ 7 coin honouring cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and there is no official circular in this regard. A digitally created image of such a coin, featuring MS Dhoni’s face, was created by the Instagram handle @thetathyanews which frequently posts satirical news. There is also no mention of it on the Security Printing & Minting Corporation of India Limited (SPMCIL) website which manufactures all coins.
