From the article :
"The Reserve Bank of India has advised banks against selling gold coins to retail customers, Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said on Thursday, a day after he raised gold import duty to try to ease pressure on India's bloated current account deficit."

There is no prohibition

Time for a nice Bitcoin push. Or buying gold with Bitcoins. At least it will spur both the economies!

Gold isn't a safe haven when everyone is pumping their economy.

Gold jewelry is bigger in India than anywhere else.
That may make coin restrictions a minor setback.

Another possibility is the threat of confiscation/restriction leads to even greater levels of buying now, like what happens with guns/ammo in the US anytime a member of the gov't mentions prohibiting sales.
