Have image of 1989 Rs1000 replacement
Note the low serial number
366. The expected 0.2% of 1987 replacement notes is 20,000 for 10M
issue. The higher denomination replacements of these older issues are
more common than the lower. So probably the 1987 Rs 1000 did not use
replacements like the Rs500.
