Future money
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee released two ‘Bhabha Centenary Commemorative Coins’ at the international conference on ‘Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy-2009’ in the capital’s Vigyan Bhawan. He handed over the first set of coins — one of Rs 10 and the other of Rs 100 — that were set in a black plaque to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
