The Indian rupee was invented by the British. P.S i got it from yahoo answers!
The rupee till 1939 where made of pure silver metal. The rupee in circulation where generally the rupees minted in that perticular year. in 1939 due to the second world war the cost of bullion (metal ) silver rose much above the actual value of rupee, hence resulted in the 1 rupee coin of 1939 to be used as silver, and hence was melted to be used as silver , to combat this even government witdrew and melted them , and since 1940 the quantity of silver metal was reduced , and finally they where made of nickel in 1947.
In 1917 one rupee was worth one rupee or one USD or one GBP or whatever.
I found a George VI King Emperor half rupee 1941 in perfect condition and i was hoping to find the value of it.
In 1917 Rs 1= $ 13 USD.
