About This Dataset
Lower denomination coins remain relatively stable, while higher denomination notes, especially Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000, show rapid growth over the years. Introduction of Rs. 10 coins and increasing Rs. 20, Rs. 50, and Rs. 100 notes reflects currency modernization. Overall circulation rises significantly, indicating economic expansion and inflation impact.
Data Quality
The dataset follows a consistent tabular structure with clearly defined financial years and numerical values representing issued currency. Formatting across columns appears uniform. Minor interpretation may be required if denomination units differ across columns or if the dataset mixes quantities and value-based measurements.
Use Cases
Monetary policy research, currency circulation analysis, financial system studies, academic research in macroeconomics, economic trend analysis, and visualization of currency issuance patterns.
Limitations
The dataset focuses only on issued currency and does not include withdrawn notes, destroyed currency, or total circulation figures. It also lacks contextual economic indicators such as inflation, GDP growth, or monetary policy decisions that may influence issuance trends.
Methodology
The data was likely compiled from central bank currency issuance records where annual statistics track the number or value of banknotes and coins released into circulation by the monetary authority.
