So long as it is not barred by any law you can do it Better consult the concerned officer in RBI

Can I sell my old coins to RBI?

Thank you for your request. You cannot sell your old coin back to RBI. You can sell your old coins on online marketplaces such as OLX or Quikr, but you should be cautious.

Hi, It is indeed legal to sell old coins and currency notes in India except for the specified bank notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 denomination that were made illegal on Nov 8, 2016. All coins and notes that are more than 100 years old cannot be sold to/taken out of India. However, you can trade them within India.

Is it legal in India to sell old coins? It's not clear whether it's legal to sell old coins in India, but so long as you're not engaging in fraudulent activities such as charging government authorities for commissions like the RBI, then you should be fine.
