#332India gave no warning on Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes. How are we suppose to cash in the ones we have?

#333A lot of people having undeclared wealth are going to lose 1% to 5% their wealth (which had held as cash for liquidity), no big deal.

#334I am not at all comfortable with the elimination of paper currency no matter what the rationale proffered by politicians and government hacks. Control of people from the top down is an ever present risk and cash money has a strong offsetting influence to the nefarious plans of would-be dictators. Put another way: Government is not benevolent and never can be. We should all be very careful.
> I am not at all comfortable with the elimination of paper currency Then it's a good thing that paper currency is not being eliminated. Cash continues to be legal. Some banknotes are eliminated, and new ones are introduced.
