How to sell your 20 rupee note?

If you have such a note and want to sell it, then some online platforms have explained how to sell it. For example, on sites like OLX, you can sell these notes by uploading pictures of them and telling the price you want.

First of all, register on a website like OLX.

Upload a clear photo of your note. People who are interested in buying such notes will contact you. You can sell the note at your fixed price. But wait! One important thing!

As fast as these news are spreading, some warnings are also coming out. It is very important for you to know that:

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has not given permission to any such institution or person to buy and sell notes. Incidents of fraud can also come up in such online sales. Many people have become victims of fraud, in which they have lost money in exchange for selling notes.

Therefore, if you are thinking of selling such a note, be very careful. Do not share your personal information or bank details with any unknown person. Be very cautious while transacting money in such deals, as the risk of fraud is very high.

So, what to do?

It is true that old and rare coins and notes have their own market, but it requires expertise. If you really have a rare note and want to sell it, it would be safer to consult a trusted and certified numismatist.
