Is there’s a fault in new 2000rs notes, twitteratti’s thinks so!
Have you got your hands on the new Rs 2,000 note yet? After PM Modi’s announcement to scrap Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes, that’s the question most Indians are asking each other. But buzz on Twitter was that the new note had an error on it.
The so called ‘error’ is on the back side of the note, as reported by news website Satyagraha. The back side of the note has the value of the currency written in 15 languages.

Mistake in the new ₹2K note. It says Don Hazar Rupiya in Hindi. I am told there is a mistake in the Urdu text also. pic.twitter.com/Rq7hB05Nzi

The confusion may have stemmed from the fact that the Devanagari script has been used. But Hindi alone doesn’t use the script. Other major Indian languages – Marathi, Nepali, Konkani and Sanskrit are also written in Devanagari.
Relax
It's not spelling mistake, its Konkani and Marathi
Hindi is not written in the list cuz it's all over on the Rs. 2000 note. @RBI #RBI pic.twitter.com/HD3zsfSf4k— Srini Vinodh (@Srini_Vinodh) November 12, 2016
@TusharG It's Konkani boss. We also live in India.

So the Devanagari script is used five times on the note, to write in five different languages. While the news of the error created panic among Twitterati, who began to wonder if the Reserve Bank of India would have to withdraw the notes again, we can all relax, because the “error” is just an expression of the value in another language.
