i created this thread for those people who thinks that 1 Indian Rupee is equals to 100 paisa........but i asked the other amount except from 100 paisa..........

actually I wanted to write pices but due to typo the "c" was missed.
My father is from the time anna was the main commercial unit.
He gave me some pice, anna & rupee from that era (incl. some from the British era) and some naya paisas too.
Since 1964, the following coins have come into circulation,
1p, 2p, 3p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 25p, 50p
till very recently, the govt. used to mint new 10p, 25p & 50p coins and till date, they remain in circulation, at least in Kolkata.

If I am not wrong, after independence, initially the value anna was changed to 6 paise. That would mean 1 Rupee = 96 paise
