[edit] Arun's rewording

Why did you remove any references to Bangladesh???--Ragib 16:05, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I created the Poisha article, as I was under the impression that was the correct English spelling of Paisa. Maybe I should just make it a redirect and merge them? --Arun 21:25, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)

Actually, according to Banglapedia [1], the transliteration used is Paisa. Adding a redirect in Poisa is definitely a good idea. :) --Ragib 22:02, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pakistani paisa

Does anyone know what the Urdu writing for the word paisa? I've looked everywhere, but can't find it anywhere. Dtbohrer 03:08, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Yep, it's "PYSH", so to speak. You'll find it spelled out on some of the paisa coins illustrated in this article. Alfons Åberg 09:36, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Coins of india.jpg

Image:Coins of india.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:26, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Etymology

What about the etymology of the word "paisa"? And is there any linguistic connnection (one way or the other) to the Hispanic "peso"? --SohanDsouza 13:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
