A really revolutionary step by the P.M of India. It was really irritating and tiring to stand in lines to get our notes exchanged but small term pain really brings long term benefits. Nice instructable. Thanks for sharing. I have seen the 2000 note but the 500 one is still left. Those are not yet available at my city. I have also attached a pic launched by the RBI on how to indentify both new notes. It May be helpful to others :)

thanks! even it took me 3 days to take this note in my pocket, first 2 days i scared of queue, on third day & after 5 hours, But we all appreciate this change.

The symbol is beautiful and modern style.
