Often, we consider old notes worthless and either put them away in a corner or try to spend them. But there are many enthusiasts in the world who are willing to spend millions of rupees to collect rare currency. Recently, the value of a particular 10 rupee note has skyrocketed, and it is said that you can get up to 5 lakh rupees for it.

Which Note is So Valuable?

Not every 10 rupee note will fetch you millions. The note needs to have some special features. The notes with the following characteristics are in high demand in the market:

Special Serial Number: If your note's serial number is 786, its value can be very high. Many people consider this number very lucky and pay a large sum for it.

Old Design: 10 rupee notes from the British era or those from immediately after independence, which featured the Ashoka Pillar, are in very high demand.

• Peacock Note: Old 10 rupee notes that had a picture of a peacock on the back are also quite popular in the world of collectors.
• Misprinted Notes: Sometimes, some notes have errors during the printing process. The value of such 'error notes' increases significantly at auctions.

Where and How to Sell These Notes?

If you have such a rare note, you don't need to go anywhere. You can sell it on online platforms. Websites like Quikr, OLX, or eBay auction such notes.

First, register yourself as a 'seller' on these websites.
Take clear pictures of both sides of your special note.
Upload an advertisement describing the features of the note.
After this, people interested in buying the note will contact you directly, and you can negotiate the price you want. Caution is also necessary.

Online fraud is rampant these days in the name of buying and selling old banknotes. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has clarified that it is not involved in any such activity and does not charge any fees for selling old banknotes. Therefore, do not pay any registration fees or advance payments to anyone. Always choose a reliable platform.

It's possible that a treasure is hidden in your old files or your grandmother's purse that is highly valuable today. So what are you waiting for? Check your old safe today; perhaps that 10-rupee note that could change your fortune is waiting for you there.
