Reports said the total value of the coins amounted to Rs 1.10 lakh, enough to cover the full price of the motorcycle. Since Rs 10 coins are legal tender issued by the Reserve Bank of India, businesses can generally accept them for transactions, although handling large quantities can be time-consuming and logistically challenging.
The incident has reignited conversations about the misconceptions surrounding Rs 10 coins. Despite being valid legal tender, these coins are sometimes wrongly refused by traders due to misinformation or concerns about counterfeit currency. The viral purchase served as a reminder that Rs 10 coins remain fully valid for transactions across India.
The dealership completed the sale after verifying the amount, and the customer took delivery of the motorcycle once the counting process was finished. The unusual payment method transformed an ordinary vehicle purchase into a viral moment that has been widely shared online.
The video continues to generate reactions, with many social media users describing the purchase as both entertaining and memorable. Others viewed it as a practical demonstration that legal tender can be used for high-value purchases, provided both parties agree and the payment is accurately verified.
