Andaman & Nicobar Banknotes Catalog
The history of banknotes in Andaman and Nicobar is a fascinating reflection of the political and economic evolution of these islands. From their use as a British penal colony to their current status as a territory of India, changes in currency have witnessed major transformations.
Old Andaman and Nicobar banknotes
During the British colonial period, Andaman and Nicobar used the Indian rupee as the official currency. However, in the 1940s, during the Japanese occupation in World War II, special banknotes known as "coupons" were issued. These coupons, printed in denominations of 1 rupee, 5 rupees and 10 rupees, were used exclusively in the islands and are now highly coveted collector's items by note collectors.
Current banknotes in circulation
Andaman and Nicobar currently use the standard Indian rupee as the official currency. There are no specific banknotes for the islands, but the same ones are used as in the rest of India. The denominations in circulation include 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 2000 rupee bills. An important milestone in India's recent notafilia was the 2016 demonetization, which withdrew Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 bills from circulation, introducing new designs and security measures in replacement bills.
