Throughout the 19th century, the gold coinage was of the same weight and fineness as the silver but the ratio between gold and silver was liable to be varied from time to time by Government proclamation. |

Rates of exchange between different rupees varied not only between presidencies but also between districts within a presidency.[[User:Anwar saadat|Anwar]] ([[User talk:Anwar saadat|talk]]) 15:24, 26 April 2008 (UTC) |

Price of Silver Chart
What is the price of silver being listed in? Pence per troy ounce? What is the exchange rate? Rupees per pound? It needs to be clarified Nik42 06:02, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
Merger with Rupee
I think the fact that there's a specific page for the history of the rupee is a little unnecessary, since the original rupee article doesn't seem long enough to be split off into pages about categories such as "History". Plus, and I supoose this is a minor complaint, but the addition of "History of the rupee" seems to add an enormous amount of white space to the rupee template. El Cid 06:54, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Merger with Rupee
This article is the history of the Indian Rupee. Instead of merging with Rupee which has rupees of other countries, I suggest this article be merged with Indian Rupee.--PremKudvaTalk 09:41, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Let's keep the discussion in one place. Talk:Rupee. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 11:06, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
rupee versus Rupee
Rupee is a name of a currency. The word Rupee used in the title and elsewhere in the article should be in title case, Rupee and not rupee. -Vivek 221.134.214.7 21:03, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- Rupee is a unit of measurement, therefore should not be capitalized unless it's the first word of a sentence. Non-currency units have been decapitalized too, even where they are derived from a proper noun. The SI unit of a force is a "newton", the SI unit of electric potential is a "volt", and the CGS unit of magnetic flux density is a "gauss". --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 00:12, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
