Have you ever wondered how much cost it costs for Government of India to print different denomination notes! Economic times has published the figures today and I thought our readers would love to know 
Of all the notes minted, Rs 1,000 costs the least, at Rs 3.17 per note. But the five-rupee note, the smallest in terms of size and denomination, costs the most, 48 paise, compared to the value of the note.

| 100 | 1.44 | 1.44% |
