#1

Demonetization is the process of removing a monetary unit’s legal tender status. It occurs anytime the national currency is changed. The existing form or forms of money are removed from circulation and replaced with new notes or coins. Occasionally, a country will entirely replace its old currency with a new one.
Demonetization has been used to help stable currencies and combat inflation, as well as to improve trade and market access, and to move informal economic activities into the open and away from black and grey markets.
