    It is really interesting. I would suggest the author to restrict these INTERESTING FACTS to a maximum of 10 at a time , so that people would get more attention and involvement to go through them. After one month again the remaining facts can be posted. By doing so, people would get an impression that some serious efforts are being made to update these data.

Tuesday, November 8, was a usual day till about 8pm in the evening when PM Modi said that  Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes will cease to be legal tenders from the midnight in India. That was the midnight of November 8.
