Fans love Mahendra Singh Dhoni a lot. He has retired from international cricket but even today Dhoni is at the top in terms of popularity. This popularity of Dhoni is becoming a big problem for his fans as well because such news is spreading on social media in his name which is really shocking. Reports are doing the rounds on social media that the government is bringing Dhoni's name on a Rs 7 coin, which will also have his picture printed on it. When truth has nothing to do with it.
A 7 rupee coin has been circulated in the name of Dhoni
The news of Rs 7 coin being released in Dhoni's name is just a rumour, it is totally false. A fact check by the Press Information Bureau has revealed that this viral claim is completely false. The government has not made any such announcement. PIB Fact Check on its X handle said that the image of the Rs.7 coin is fake and the Department of Economic Affairs has neither said anything about introducing such a coin nor has any such intention in future.
