Withdrawal of 25 paise coin hurts religious sentiments

Rohtak: The religious sentiments of the people in Rohtak got hurt, after the central government issued a notification stating that from June 30, 2011, the 25 paise metal coin would no longer be used as legal tender. Preisets expressed disappointment as they offered the coins to the deities. The different communities in the country had tremendous faith on these metal coins and were in a habit of using Rs. 1.25 on every auspicious occasion. According to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), June 30th was the last day when the 25 paise coin was permissible in circulation
