I dont know why the GOVT issues this type of huge note. It is very difficult to change even Rs.2,000/- note for the day to day purchases. Useless decision . After one year there may be Rs. 10,000/- note.

Very soon Sri Lanka will become new Zimbabwe.

Printing high value notes will depreciate value of the currency. These jokers are laughing for themselves.

These are the sign of high inflation. Now government has to print less number of notes to meets its expenses.

Why on earth they are printing Devil dancers in the money, instead of promoting those beautiful places in our country.
