But people were still trying to stick to this when the 100 Naya Paise to a rupee was introduced and getting complicated 6-1/4 NP to an anna & 12-1/2 to 2 annas- equations! Lots of arguments at every purchase. We had square 1/2 anna & 2 anna coins and a quarter anna coin with a hole in the middle. Imagine people were able to buy things with them.Padmanabhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278629397479779173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-20527917280401949322017-04-01T17:03:57.117+05:302017-04-01T17:03:57.117+05:30Enjoyed the starters!

It was the smallest currency unit, equal to 1/3 of a paisa, 1/12 of an anna or 1/192 of a rupee. During the mid-nineteenth century, one pie was worth 12 cowry. Pice was equal to 1/4 anna or 3 pies.<br /><br />Kishorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398234335975124266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-59946997280686720322017-04-01T16:08:17.953+05:302017-04-01T16:08:17.953+05:30Paddy, Enjoy your starters and be guided by the le...Paddy, Enjoy your starters and be guided by the leaders Kishorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398234335975124266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-75384246982106018362017-04-01T15:51:08.528+05:302017-04-01T15:51:08.528+05:30An anna was a currency unit that was equal to 1/16...An anna was a currency unit that was equal to 1/16 of a rupee.
