After eliminating the 500 and 1000 ₹ on Wednesday, the 2000 ₹ note has now been introduced in India. The note is magenta, and features Gandhi as did the old notes. The reverse side shows the Mars Orbiter Mission. To some it may seem strange to have modest Gandhi on one side, and a grandiose space mission on the other. However, at 73 million US dollars, the Orbiter Mission was also quite modest in what it accomplished. It is the cheapest Mars mission to date.
