RBI to soon release new chocolate brown ten rupee note

Reserve Bank of India will soon release new ten rupee note. The new chocolate brown coloured notes will have the same height of 63mm as the current ten rupee note but the width will be 123mm - slightly lesser than the 137mm width of the existing note. Besides the colour and the size, another main difference is that the reverse of the note will carry a motif of the Konark Sun Temple. The existing ten rupee note carries the image of fauna of India - rhinoceros, elephant and tiger.
