The Reserve Bank of India on Thursday revealed the look of new Rs 100 currency note. The new Rs 100 denomination banknotes that will be issued soon is lavender in colour and will feature the UNESCO heritage site from Gujarat — the Rani Ki Vav on the reverse side. People on Twitter, however, were not impressed with the colour of the new note and many couldn’t stop cracking jokes about it.

Others on the microblogging site highlighted how the recent set of bank notes released after demonetisation has an uncanny resemblance to notes in the popular board game, Monopoly.
