But a little inflation is a good thing. Economists would any day prefer a gradual rise over the constant drop in prices. Let us understand why!

And the ₹50, well, they are no circular metal thing but a piece of rectangular paper. Ever wondered how they came into existence? How they evolved? What are they backed by? How can a piece of paper hold monetary value?
