In which denomination were India's first bimetallic coins issued in the year 2009?
Answer: C
Correct answer: Rs. 10
India's first bimetallic coin was the ten-rupee coin issued in 2009, with an outer ring of one alloy and an inner core of another.
The two-metal construction is a security measure as much as an aesthetic one: it is markedly harder to counterfeit than a single-alloy coin, and it distinguishes the denomination by sight and feel from the coins below it. A ten-rupee coin was worth introducing at that point because inflation had made a coin more economical than a note for the denomination, coins lasting far longer in circulation.
