I just read about the zero-rupee note, devised by Indian anti-corruption charity 5th Pillar. The idea is that you slip a corrupt official the note, featuring the face of Mahatma Gandhi, when they look for a bribe.
"The note is a way for any human being to say NO to corruption without the fear of facing an encounter with persons in authority," the group says on its website.Fifth Pillar uses the Right to Information Act passed by the Indian government in 2005 to look at official files and projects. It lists success stories on its website.
