1. Donate some of the coins to the needy. 2. Enable devotees to exchange notes to coins from the temple, since these coins are in a way "blessed" coins.

From what I see it's the banks problem & they should find a way or the trustees of the temple should find a way to solve this problem. Donation of coins in temple had been an age old tradition which will not stop

I am not sure about other states.. but in Bangalore, while traveling in buses the conductors are short of coins. Especially when people get done at one or two bus stop difference. If a distribution system between banks and transport can be established, it can help the public.

In India people consider Coin as a boon of Mahalaxmi...and a materialistic fortune

[johnsonsinghlaishram]

In Manipur, you'll hardly find coins in any denomination. Even if you have ₹10 and ₹20 coins, you cannot pay for the goods you bought.

It’s not hindu mythology but hindu culture..scripts should be written carefully.

[premkumarparikarath]

Let them open an exchange counter in the temple itself. Devotees will pick up most of the coins.

Never say Mythology, always use the word belief... We are still unable to prove the existence of Christ but will you dare call him a Myth? No right? Stop taking Hinduism lightly.

It's been years i can say when i started using UPI i have used change

[adityapandeyviia]

Too much money is never a problem, these are old Indian concepts. For escaping something

[klimentvoroshilov]

Saving coins breaks the money circulation... 😂

Can you increase the sound volumen of your videos ?

[sammd]

Temple money and gold should be given to poor hindu brothers and sisters and beneficial for the community .

[Exiide]

So? Did those coins come from some other country?

[lollmaowow]

Now why I know why there isn't much change with people and shopkeepers.

[amodjp]

It's time small denomination coins are banned from circulation and the metal is used for better option

[sandeepkumargunda]

Why don't coins are converted into notes then coins are reverted to rbi.

[torablack]

why not use the money to improve the neighborhood?

[siddhi]

Coin should give to the busconducter and hotel business ppl they always need change..

[kevinfraser]
