unique distinctions, including being called a 'coin' in legal speak.

unique distinctions, including being called a 'coin' in legal speak.
 The note is issued by the Government of India and not the Reserve Bank, and is
the only currency note or an asset and not a promissory note and is not signed by the
RBI governor, but by the finance secretary.
