Ek Rupee Coin ko Banane ka Kharch Uski Keemat se Zyada Hai!

Kya aapne kabhi socha hai ki aapki pocket mein pada 1 rupee ka coin, jise aap daily use karte hain, use banane mein government ka kitna kharch aata hai? Aapko yeh jaankar surprise hoga ki ek rupee ke sikke ki manufacturing cost uski apni value se bhi zyada hai.

Ek Right to Information (RTI) ke jawab mein Reserve Bank of India (RBI) ne bataya ki ek rupee ka coin banane mein ₹1.11 ka kharch aata hai. Iska matlab hai ki government ko har 1 rupee ka coin banane par 11 paise ka loss hota hai

Sikke ka Material aur Cost ke Factors

Ek rupee ka coin Stainless Steel se banta hai. Iski total cost mein sirf metal ka kharch hi nahi hota, balki isme kai doosre kharche bhi jude hote hain, jaise:

• Metal ki Cost: Sikka banane ke liye istemaal hone wale metal ka market price.
• Minting ka Kharch: Sikke ko banane ka process, jisme machinery, electricity aur maintenance ka kharch shamil hai.
• Workers ki Salary: Mint (taksaal) mein kaam karne wale employees ki salary.
• Transportation aur Security: Coins ko mint se deshbhar ke banks tak safe pahunchane ka kharch.

In sabhi kharchon ko milakar coin ki final manufacturing cost banti hai.

Doosre Coins ki Manufacturing Cost Kya Hai?

Aisa sirf 1 rupee coin ke saath nahi hai. Lekin, badi value ke coins ko banane ka kharch unki keemat se kam hai.

• ₹2 Coin: Ise banane mein ₹1.28 lagte hain.
• ₹5 Coin: Ise banane mein ₹3.69 lagte hain.
• ₹10 Coin: Ise banane mein ₹5.54 lagte hain.

Zyada Cost ke Baad Bhi Coins Kyun Banaye Jaate Hain?

Ab sawaal yeh uthta hai ki jab 1 rupee ka coin banane mein loss hai, toh government ise kyun banati hai? Iske kai important reasons hain:

1. Economy ki Zaroorat: Chhote transactions (len-den) aur retail market ke liye sikke bahut zaroori hain. Yeh cash flow ko smooth banaye rakhte hain.
2. Lambi Lifetime: Paper notes ke comparison mein sikke bahut zyada time tak chalte hain. Ek note kuch saal mein kharab ho jaata hai, jabki ek coin kai saalon tak circulation mein rehta hai. Isliye long-term mein sikke saste padte hain.
3. Government ki Responsibility: Aam public ko transaction mein koi problem na ho, isliye currency issue karna government ki zimmedari hai.

India mein coins chaar sarkari Mints (taksaal) mein banaye jaate hain – Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad aur Noida.
