Shortage of Coins, Business Owners are Trying to Gain More from Customers

.......Mahatma Gandhi had something to say about this so many years ago. "You must be the change you want to see in the world". :-) I have this same problem in Mangalore getting change. I haven't seen a 5 Rs currency note in a long time, though Rs 2 coins seem to be very popular here. But it's strange that slightly prosperous roadside Chatwallahs or Chinese Food vendors give me whatever change I need. With already squeezing margins due to rising commodity prices, hotels are feeling the current situation too hot to handle. Besides, small grocery shops and retail establishments are also finding it difficult to procure coins.........
