paise par mahatma

Mahatma Gandhi as seen on Indian currency note. An extreme macro shot with Raynox DCR-250 attachment to 18-70mm kitlens of my Sony A200.

In 1996, the Government of India introduced the Mahatma Gandhi series of currency notes in rupees 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 denomination. Today, all the currency notes in circulation in India contain a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi. In 1969, the United Kingdom issued a series of stamps commemorating the centenary of Mahatma Gandhi.
