Nepal's humbled King Gyanendra is likely to have his picture removed from the Himalayan nation's currency notes, a Cabinet minister said, another blow to the unpopular monarch.

Finance Minister Ram Sharan Mahat said the central Nepal Rastra Bank had proposed that the picture of the King be replaced by that of Lord Buddha.
