If it came on an Indian news channel, they would have been broadcasting it as an achievement.
 
NDTV did highlight that 19 of the winners were "indo"Canadian...
As if that's an achievement...
 
They last removed a coin in the 1850s... And here we have been losing the lowest coin, atleast every decade. 50p is almost dead... I am not sure even Re.1 will survive till 2020...
 
25p died in 2011. RBI informed its no longer legal tender 2-3 years ago.. 50p, though rare, can be seen - Though there is nothing it can buy on its own(I guess). Maybe in maller towns?

I have been handed over two 50p coins in public transport in this year. I might have the odd coin(s) in some coin box (like a piggy bank)
