New Lavender 100 Rupee Note Has Twitterati Amused

Twitter users can’t help but take a dig at the lavender colour of the new Rs 100 note.

On Thursday, 19 July, The Reserve Bank of India revealed the new look of the Rs 100 currency note.

The new note, in a bright lavender colour, will soon make its way into banks. A motif of Rani ki Vav – a UNESCO heritage site in Gujarat – will be featured on the reverse side of the note.

The new set of #Indian currencies remind me of Teletubbies! There is reddish pink, green, yellow and now the new 10 #Rupee note is going to come in Lavendar. Powerpuff girls printing them in Dexter's laboratory?

Others couldn’t help but notice how uncannily similar the new Rs 100 note looks to the notes in the popular board game Monopoly.

Dear makers of the board game #Monopoly:

Can you please change your currency - it looks suspiciously like the new Indian notes!

And stay off lavender, pink & saffron - perhaps they have stolen your colour scheme? https://t.co/3sYdSzt31V
