Have you had trouble with similar looking Rs 5 and 50 paise coins? The government has decided to remint the coins after receiving numerous complaints over the similarity. We ask Mumbaikars if they have had a bad experience with these coins... Swati K, 20, Andheri No, I have never had trouble with the Rs 5 and 50 paise coins. I find no point in reminting them. In fact, the Rs 2 and Re 1 coins look far more similar. I have goofed up many times while giving them away. Shobhit Kapoor, 23, Vile Parle No, I have never paid much attention to the details of the coins as I can easily differentiate between them. I think we all check each and every rupee while giving it away. For people who find it troublesome, they need to be more careful. Kirit Thakker, 55, Kandivli Yes, I have had trouble with the similar looking Rs 5 and 50 paise coin. While buying newspapers couple of times I had given a 50 paise coin instead of Rs 5 and every time I had to face the vendor's wrath. I think even the Rs 10 and Rs 20 notes look quite similar. Roopa Rathod, 9, Marine Lines I sell flowers on the roadside and a bunch costs Rs 5. Often people give me 50 paise and walk away. Mostly, I make out that they have paid me less. But at times, I too have accidentally accepted 50 paise for Rs 5. Mansingh Bhatia, 34, Thane Yes, I think Rs 5 and 50 paise coins look identical, though, I have never made any mistake with them, at least not any that I can recollect. I think the government has a made the right decision in reminting them.
