discribe the Currancy of rupees two. part anna and pies analysis
Answers
Answer:
An anna (or ānna) was a currency unit formerly used in British India, equal to 1⁄16 of a rupee.[1] It was subdivided into four (old) Paisa or twelve pies (thus there were 192 pies in a rupee). When the rupee was decimalised and subdivided into 100 (new) paise, one anna was therefore equivalent to 6.25 paise. The term belonged to the Islamic monetary system.[citation needed] The anna was demonetised as a currency unit when India decimalised its currency in 1957, followed by Pakistan in 1961. It was replaced by the 5-paise coin, which was itself discontinued in 1994 and demonetised in 2011. Despite this, a 50-paise coin is still sometimes colloquially referred to as 8 annas today, with a 25-paise coin nicknamed 4 annas.[citation needed] The term anna is frequently used to express a fraction of 1⁄16.
