- bluesmoon 16y agoWe'd use Re for singular (ie, Re. 1) and Rs for plural (Rs. 2000)

- mallipeddi 16y agoINR is not a symbol. It's the ISO currency code for Indian Rupee.
- listic 16y agoFYI, the Russian ruble didn't have a symbol, too, until recently. http://www.artlebedev.com/mandership/159/ http://www.artlebedev.com/mandership/159/ Though most currencies have.
- stereo 16y agoMany currencies don't. I think governments started noticing when the € symbol became common. We lost the pretty italian ₤ sign (two stripes, compare to the pound sign £) when we switched to the euro. I also miss the german pfennig sign, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:U%2B20B0_GERMAN_PENNY_SIGN.svg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:U%2B20B0_GERMAN_PENNY... . We didn't even get the ¢ symbol in exchange.
- eru 16y agoI never encountered the Pfennig sign in Germany--it must have been out of fashion for at least a few decades. We always seemed to use DM and Pf.
