About This Dataset
Lower denomination coins and notes show steady or moderate growth, while higher denomination notes (Rs. 500, Rs. 1000) increase sharply over time. Rs. 10 coins appear after 2009, indicating currency updates and new coin introductions. Overall, total currency circulation rises consistently, reflecting inflation and economic expansion.
Data Quality
The dataset appears to follow a consistent tabular structure with clearly defined financial years and numeric values representing issued currency. Formatting is generally consistent across columns. Some columns representing denomination categories may contain sparse values depending on the years in which particular denominations were issued.
Use Cases
Currency circulation analysis, monetary policy research, economic history studies, denomination demand analysis, financial system research, and visualization of currency issuance trends.
Limitations
The dataset only reports issued currency and does not include withdrawn notes, destroyed currency, or total circulation figures. It also does not provide contextual economic variables such as inflation or GDP that could influence currency issuance patterns.
Methodology
The data was likely compiled from central bank currency issuance records maintained by the Reserve Bank of India, where yearly statistics track the number or value of banknotes and coins released into circulation by denomination.
