This is a bigger bribe story than the arms deals. Securency International, which holds the universal monopoly patent for plastic currency, is under investigation even in its own country Australia for massive bribing of officials of international governments. How much did they pay in India? They have been trying to sell plastic currency that is totally unsuitable in the tropics, to India from 2001. The Clean Note policy of the RBI was the first scheme to bring in plastic currency. Having to recycle every 6 months, plastic currency is difficult to sustain. Also, it cannot be folded.
I suggest some foreign material to be added to the notes which can be detected by some scanner which will detect large amount of money hidden in bag or somewhere else.
pls bring something that cannot be duplicated, or better still call the duplicators & ask them to supply currency officially, simple you get the wolf to guard the goat
