Taj Mahal rejects US dollar

Tourists visiting 27 World Heritage Listed sites in India, including the Taj Mahal, will no longer be able to pay in dollars after it was announced Tuesday that the flailing currency was not welcome.
The new payment will cost tourists up to one-third more. Where tickets for the Taj Mahal and other World Heritage Listed sites had previously been set at $5, the new price of 250 rupees converts to approximately $6.40. Indian residents, however, are extended a discounted rate of 20 rupees to visit their national sites
