روپیه
Sign in to savethumb| Rupee (, ) is the common name for the currencies of India, Mauritius, Nepal, Pakistan, Seychelles, and Sri Lanka, and of former currencies of Afghanistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, the United Arab Emirates (as the Gulf rupee), British East Africa, Burma, German East Africa (as Rupie/Rupien), and Tibet. In Indonesia and the Maldives, the unit of currency is known as rupiah and rufiyaa respectively, cognates of the word rupee.
The rupee is the name of the currency used in several South Asian and African countries, including India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, and Seychelles, as well as various historical currencies in other regions. It matters because it serves as the official money for hundreds of millions of people across multiple nations, and similar currency names derived from "rupee" are also used in Indonesia and the Maldives.
