Dear mylotters, this discussion is just a way to enhance my knowledge in the feild of currency denomination that your respective country has. In India 'Rupees' is the name of the currency and the denominations currently in circulation are, 10 paise (100 paise equals one rupee), 25 paise, 50 paise, 1 rupee coin, 2 rupees coin, 5 rupees coin, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 rupees note.

I'm from the United States. Here we have the cent (100 cents makes a dollar). Coins are 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 cents and the $1 coin. You don't see the 50 cent and $1 coins often. In notes, we have 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 in common usage. There are bigger ones but you almost never see them. The $2 note is also pretty rare.

Currently before the Euro takes over, we use pounds sterling as our currency in the UK with the denominations being: 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p 100p and 200p all of these being coins. Then we have notes £5, £10, £20 and £50. Sadly we lost the £1 which I thought was very useful, but instead of the note we have a coin in place.
