We all buy various things from morning till evening and pay the shopkeeper in return. But you may not know an important detail about the currency notes you use every day. Let us tell you about it.

Why are there these slanted lines on 100, 200 and 500 rupee notes?

We humans have a habit of not paying as much attention to the things we use every day as we focus on the things we see occasionally. If we see something rare or something for the first time, or even an animal, we try to find out everything about it, but we don't show such interest in the things we see every day. You might have done something similar with the notes in your wallet. You might not have paid much attention to the notes you use every day, and you might not know one such information which is very interesting. Let us tell you about it.

You do this first

Do one thing. Take out a 100 rupee note from your wallet. Look at the edge of that note. You'll see slanted lines there. Now take out 200 and 500 rupee notes and look at their edges as well. You'll see slanted lines on both of these notes as well. You've probably never noticed these slanted lines before today. Do you know why these lines are on notes?

Why do these lines exist?

If you looked at these three notes as we asked, you might have noticed that the 100 rupee note has four lines on each side. The 200 rupee note also has four lines on each side, with two circles in between. Now let's talk about the 500 rupee note. The 500 rupee note has five lines on each side, and all of these lines are slanted. Let us now explain why these lines are there. These lines are specifically for the visually impaired. These lines are created so that no one can fool them, and that is why all notes have different lines.
