If you thought that a Re 1 note or coin has no value in today’s world of luxury cars and penthouses, then think again
Who says Re 1 can’t buy you anything? It just takes a pair of observant eyes to find a number of things that can be bought for this paltry sum.
To begin with, we were able to count at least 50 items that retail for just Re 1 or under. If you think this is interesting, then the amazing part is that there are several industries that thrive solely on these products. Now just imagine that such products not only manage to recover costs, but also make significant profits!

Dhyaneshwar Dhage (47) had decided to commit suicide in June 1993.
Of the 500-plus acres of land his family had once owned in Giroli village in Wardha, 759 km north-east of Mumbai, only 5 acres remained.
As crop after crop failed, the family had been forced to sell the ancestral holdings one piece at a time.
And what with the cost of everything, including farm inputs, going up, Dhage could no longer support his wife and three sons on what remained.
To top it all, his father had just died, and he had inherited that persistent Vidarbha heirloom: A large loan, compounded by years of exorbitant interest.
“I thought to myself: ‘It’s time to just end it all. There’s no way out of this’,” says Dhage, still moved to tears by the memory of that decision.
Then, he says, he thought of his wife, then just 26 years old, and his three little boys.
And Dhage decided to try and solve the problem, rather than run from it.
