Indian Money

In India we use rupees and paise as money.  In our daily life we purchase the required things from a shop and pay money to the shopkeeper for the purchased thing. We use money to pay for things that we buy. In India, money is used both in the form of coins and currency notes.

We use rupees and paise as money. Money comes in notes and coins of different values. Notes and coins come in different size, shape and colour for making it easier to identify them.

Given below are pictures of some notes and coins that we use as money to buy things.

Money is available in two forms (i) Coins and (ii) Currency notes.
