I believe note will be historically important. I wanted an example for my currency collection. Although Fifth Pillar printed more than a million of these notes and has been distributing them for six years they have been scarcer than hen's teeth on the collectors' market.
I had no luck contacting 5th Pillar. I tried repeatedly from 2009 to 2013 without success. In 2014 I was able to obtain samples from Joel's Coins website. They were selling for $2/note (but cheaper in quantity), far more than the face value of the 50 rupee note they imitate. Because I could find no examples with a provenance to 5th Pillar I am not 100% certain the examples sold to collectors in 2014 were produced by 5th Pillar.
