Explanation:

• Articles are used to specify the definiteness of a subject or an object.
• Indefinite articles, a and an are used to denote things that are not specific or definite.
• In the example given above the object is unspecific, hence an indefinite article is used.
• The appropriate article to be used is "a one rupee note".
• Though the words beginning with a vowel are supposed to start with the article an, this rule is not applicable in this case as the pronunciation of one sounds like v  or w and not o.
