Until the end of the year, Indians may exchange the old banknotes against new ones, at banks or post offices, by identifying themselves. On his blog, J P Koning discusses earlier demonetization episodes in Iraq and Sweden. India’s move does not exactly follow the well publicized suggestions currently debated. But it might work.
