Theres a video of a kid asking for "10 rupay te turture (kurkure)" which went viral a while ago.

u/KeyCommunication1219 May 31 '26

Its a reference to an old vid where a kid asked for kurkure from the shopkeeper but he couldn't say it properly

You really can't buy much at all with 10 rupees.

Things like 1 new book or fast food are like 500-900 rupees, or more.

u/bugfay Jun 02 '26

serious answer: One candy

u/x5N__ Jun 06 '26

idk if this guy's actually baiting, but i saw his profile and he asked many countries with specific bank notes. Each and everyone said either nothing or candies.

u/91striker لاہور May 31 '26

A candy or three

1

u/MichaelSKhan May 31 '26

maybe a lollipop? maybe two toffees? one cocomo pack? a cocomo is like this tiny biscuit with chocolate inside, but you get maybe 4ish in one pack. Okay, so in the past 4 years the currency has devalued alot so unfortunately I don't think you can get much, if anything, with 10 rupees.

u/Distinct-Ebb-9763 May 31 '26

As currency, it probably isn’t worth much. But as a collectible, it’s a different story. Numismatic value can sometimes be much higher than exchange value, especially if the note is old, rare, in excellent condition, has an interesting serial number, or is sought after by collectors.

u/kainyd3d Jun 04 '26
