Afghan rupee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rupee was the currency of Afghanistan until 1925. Before 1891, silver rupees circulated with copper falus and gold mohur. The three metals had no fixed exchange rate between them.
In 1891, a new currency was introduced, based on the rupee divided into 60 paisa, each of 10 dinar. Other denominations issued included the shahi of 5 paisa, the sanar of 10 paisa, the abbasi of 20 paisa and the qiran of 30 paisa.
The rupee was replaced in 1925 by the Afghan afghani at a rate of 10 afghani = 11 rupees.
