Demonetisation Kicks Off
For the fifth time over the past century, the government carries out a demonitisation process, introducing a 200 Br denomination and changing the colours and security features of the 100 Br, 50 Br and 10 Br notes. People with over 100,000 Br cash on hand were instructed to go to banks and change out their notes within a month while the entire process was wrapped up in three months. The new procedure also compelled people with over 10,000 Br in cash to open a bank account.
