Shopkeeper Offers iPhone for Rs 1 in Exchange for Rare 1970 One-Rupee Coin

A viral video shows a shopkeeper offering an iPhone worth around Rs 80,000 for just one rupee, but only if the buyer presents a rare one-rupee coin from 1970. Due to a global nickel shortage then, only about 2,900 pure nickel coins were minted, making them highly valuable to collectors. These coins are scarce in circulation and can fetch prices ranging from Rs 20,000 to over Rs 1 lakh on collector platforms, explaining the shopkeeper's unusual offer.
