Until 14th century when Mohammed Bin Tughlaqs tankas - copper and brass coins to replace gold and silver coins were introduced. Though they were in short supply. His experiment failed with counterfeits flooding the market , thereby making way for minted coins having a unique seal. Demonetization is the act of stripping a currency unit of its status as legal tender i.e, the process of removing currency of general usage or circulation.
