About This Dataset
Lower denomination coins and Rs. 1 notes remain largely stable, while higher denomination notes, particularly Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000, increase sharply over the years. The introduction and growth of Rs. 10 coins and Rs. 20–100 notes reflect evolving currency needs. Overall currency circulation rises steadily, indicating economic expansion and inflationary effects.
Data Quality
The dataset is structurally consistent with numeric values for all monetary fields. Most columns contain complete data, though the 'Rs. 10 Coins (Rs. Billion)' column includes several missing values in earlier years. Formatting is uniform and column naming clearly identifies denomination and unit.
Use Cases
Economic analysis of currency circulation trends, financial research on denomination usage, policy analysis for central banking decisions, historical monetary studies, and financial modeling related to cash supply.
Limitations
The dataset covers only up to the fiscal year 2013–14 and does not include later monetary developments such as demonetization impacts. Geographic granularity is limited to the national level and does not provide regional distribution of currency.
Methodology
The data was likely compiled from official monetary statistics published annually by the Reserve Bank of India, summarizing the total value of notes and coins issued in circulation by denomination.
