How long will 50P coin exist?

Now among denominations below 1 rupee, only 50 paise exist. In your opinion, how long will it exist in Indian currency?

The coin has practically out of use. Even five rupee coins are difficult to get. Possibly, the small coins will not be issued and the old coins still in use will gradually get out of circulation.

It was found that the cost of the metal used to mint the coins was more than the face value of a coin denomination long back by the RBI. The first coin to have been removed was Rs. 10 coin long back. Since then the withdrawal process started. Now coming back to the withdrawal of 50 p coin is already in vogue. The next to be withdrawn is 5 rupee coin. On the whole metal coins are a burden to the exchequer financially. It's a matter of time when there will not be any metal denominations in circulation.

I think in one or two years 50 p, and slowly i think coins may not be in rotation.

I firmly believe that 50 paise coin will vanish soon as those coins are not used nowadays. I believe we can find these coins only in museums in 2020.

But do the 50P coins really exist? I haven't seen them for years now. The ones which we have in our house are lying with 5P, 10p 25 coins. Even beggars will think that you're making a mockery by giving a 50 P coin. You can try to use them in Bengal, where smaller coins are still in use.

Even one and two rupee coins are in danger of getting phased out in near future
