India's government made a surprise decision to withdraw current 500-and 1,000-rupee banknotes from circulation in an effort to clamp down on black marketeers and corruption.

Banks were closed to allow them to stock up on lower-denomination notes, but some later ran out of cash as Indians swarmed to swap high-value notes for legal tender.

Withdraw：撤回
Banknote：纸币
Circulation：流通
Clamp down：打击
