Claim: Indian One rupee and Two rupee coins feature hand symbols displaying the value of the coin while other countries inscribe figures of important people and monuments
Fact-check: This viral graphic mocking the Indian Currency Coins for having simple hand symbols are actually 'Hasta Mudras' from Indian classical dance forms - FACTLY
Verdict: the hand symbols inscribed on the one and two rupee coins seen in the viral graphic are 'nritya mudras,' which are hand gestures from the indian traditional dance forms like kuchipudi, bharathanatyam, kathak, etc. these coins were rolled out by the reserve bank of india in 2007 under the theme of 'nritya mudras.' hence, the claim made in the post is false.
