Nepal’s government has decided to remove the country’s map from its coins, sparking controversy and criticism.

According to sources, the Nepal Rastra Bank has been given the green light to print new coins with a different design, which will replace the current map of Nepal on the coins.

The decision was made during a cabinet meeting on Thursday, but the details of the new design have not been officially disclosed.

However, sources suggest that the new coins will feature a picture of a historic monastery in Mustang, which is believed to be the oldest monastery in Nepal.

The monastery, known as Lo Ghyaker Gumba, was built in the 7th century and is considered a significant historical landmark in Nepal.

The decision to remove the country’s map from the coins has been met with criticism, with many accusing the government of trying to erase Nepal’s national identity.

The move has also been linked to the country’s ongoing border dispute with India, with some accusing the government of trying to appease its southern neighbor.

The controversy has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many Nepalis expressing their outrage and disappointment over the decision.

The government has not yet commented on the issue, but the Nepal Rastra Bank has said that it will release more information about the new coins in the coming days.
