New Delhi: It may sound unbelievable, but your old ₹5 note could potentially fetch you up to ₹1 lakh—or even more. Yes, that small piece of paper in your drawer might actually hold the key to a surprising windfall.
Collectors and vintage currency enthusiasts are actively buying rare old notes and coins online, and some are willing to pay lakhs for a single note, especially if it carries unique features.
🧾 This Is the ₹5 Note That Can Make You RichThe note in question isn’t just any ₹5 note. You must have:
-
A ₹5 note with a tractor and farmer plowing the field illustration
-
The serial number “786” printed on it
If your note meets both these conditions, you're in luck. Collectors consider such notes highly auspicious and rare—especially the number 786, which is considered sacred in Islamic culture.
💸 Why Are People Paying So Much?Vintage note collectors, auction houses, and hobbyists often search for notes with unique prints, serials, or discontinued designs. Such notes are no longer in circulation and hold immense value due to their rarity and spiritual symbolism.
These collectors are ready to pay between ₹30,000 to ₹2,00,000 depending on the note's condition and demand.
