About

The official currency in India is the Indian Rupee, or INR. The word comes from the Sanskrit word for silver coin and the common symbol for the Rupee is Rs. The Reserve Bank of India, which was introduced in 1935, is responsible for controlling and issuing the currency. The coins have been used to trade in India for hundreds of years.
