The second line translates to

All shopkeepers give this [the candies] instead of a 50paise or 1 rupee coin.

I came across this image on Facebook . Like many others, I am also irritated by  the replacement of good old 50p, 1 rupee coins with candies. I hear rumors that this is due to the apparent crisis of coins in circulation in the market. It may be true, or this may be a nice trick to increase the revenue of your friendly neighborhood  shop.

Whatever, I can’t wait for the next generation of mobile money to come here. Will Square be the answer?
