The two controversial steps taken by Muhammad Bin Tughlaq were:

  1. Shifting of Capital from Delhi to Devagiri (Daulatabad) and back to Delhi which caused lots of hardships to the people.
  2. Introduction of token currency or bronze tanka to replace the silver tanka but the experiment failed due to the circulation of counterfeit or fake coins.
