When I visited India I found that one rupee is the smallest increment offered. It's very roughly equivalent to the American nickel. Even though cost of living there is much cheaper, the coarser grain of currency does not cause trouble. When available currency has limited resolution merchants simply adjust their quantities to match. Wouldn't it be nice to just pay 3.50 and get a tad more product than 3.37 and futz with the change?
