...........However, the RBI appears to have pushed aside this
traditional concept of commemorative coins. According to RBI sources, it has
issued six other commemorative coins this year. These include coins for 150
years of Kuka Movement, 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, 150th
birth anniversary of Motilal Nehru and 150th birth anniversary of Madan Mohan
Malaviya. The RBI only came up with a statement on April 26, 2013, that
coins the picture of ‘Mata Vaishno Devi’ in the centre were minted by the
government and were put into circulation by the central bank. There has been no
explanation or justification to promote the introduction of such an unusual
practice..........
The very purpose of VITALINFO is to provide a platform for wider dissemination of updated information related to and happening of events in and around RBI.

Secularism does not mean that Indian Gods and Goddesses should not figure anywhere other than in their structures. This is India - the Bharat first. There is nothing wrong in RBI minting Vaishnodevi on the Rs.5 coin.
