Fans love Mahendra Singh Dhoni very much. He has retired from international cricket but even today Dhoni is on top in terms of popularity. This popularity of Dhoni is also becoming a big problem for his fans because such a news is spreading on social media in his name which is really shocking. There are reports spreading on social media that the government is bringing a coin of Rs 7 in the name of Dhoni, in which his picture will also be printed. Whereas the truth has nothing to do with it.

7 rupee coin lie spread in Dhoni's name

The news of Rs 7 coin being released in Dhoni's name is just a rumour, it is absolutely wrong. Fact check by the Press Information Bureau has revealed that this viral claim is absolutely false. The government has not made any such announcement. PIB Fact Check said on its X handle that the picture 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 idea in the future.
