It seems like this page should become a disambiguation page (and there should be pages for the Indian Rupee, Pakistani Rupee, "Hyrule" Rupee, etc...)

Japan also used Rupees in the past. Not sure of the timescale but certainly during WW2.

The Japanese issued Rupees, but these were for the Japanese occupation of Burma (1942-45). - (Aidan Work 01:50, 21 November 2005 (UTC))

[edit] Caps

Why are some "rupees" capitiolized and some not? shouldn't all be non-caps? Joe I 21:35, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Joe, I reckon all currency units should be capitalised anyway. - (Aidan Work 04:30, 5 December 2005 (UTC))

But seriously, reckoning aside, which is it?

Has Wikipedia adopted a particular style-guide? That would be the best way to answer questions like these. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 61.219.97.230 (talk • contribs) 07:33, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Currency unit should be lower case per Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics/Style. User:Aidan Work is banned --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 09:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rupee

Images and infomation about other variants of the rupee in other countries should be noted in this article (User:71.116.94.54 12:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Worth now

It mentions it used to be worth about six dollars in current currency, but I see no indication of current worth. -Iopq 09:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

The numbers were wrong. I corrected it. The amount of silver of the "original" rupee is worth US$4 today. In the late 19th and early 20th century, 1 rupee was a little less than 1/2 of USD. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 10:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merger with History of the rupee

I think the fact that there's a specific page for the history of the rupee is a little unnecessary, since the original rupee article doesn't seem long enough to be split off into pages about categories such as "History". Plus, and I suppose this is a minor complaint, but the addition of "History of the rupee" seems to add an enormous amount of white space to the rupee template. El Cid 06:54, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

I too think a merger with History of the rupee is not required, that article is on the Indian rupee, whereas this one in on rupees of various countries.--PremKudva^Talk 09:45, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

• Support. I support under these condition

1. History of the rupee merged into rupee as a section
2. Part of History of the rupee that is too Indian specific to me moved to Indian rupee
3. National specific details permitted in the merged rupee only if it has significance, e.g. comparison of the decemalisation of varous countries.
4. Images of various rupee stays, even if a higher percentage will be Indian

--ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 11:12, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

History of the rupee is completely India specific and should not be merged with Rupee--PremKudva^Talk 06:03, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

• Support provided Indian specific be added to only Indian rupee. Joe I 09:04, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

• SupportThe rupee might be primarily used in India, but mention should be made of all the other countries using it, one back/front image if possible. The history of the rupee is directly tied to which countries use it, whether they be large or small. --87.194.21.101 00:36, 1 November 2006 (UTC) *edit, forgot to sign in first! =) --IceflamePhoenix 00:37, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: This article is too long to be a single section of any other article. Especially, since other articles are small, adding this to them will make them almost entirely about history of the rupee, whereas they are supposed cover all aspects, not just history. I agree that this article, which I wrote almost entirely, is mostly about the Indian rupee. We could rename it as History of the Indian rupee if a need is felt. PS: "This article"" refers to History of the rupee. deeptrivia (talk) 13:47, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• Support merge under conditions set by ChoChoPK. Chris 19:11, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Symbol

Tahoma renders ₨ as Rp. Is this an error? Also, XE.com’s graphic has a crossbar through the R. Are these ever used? Wiki Wikardo Bedtime, 5 January 2007
