Rupiya is a term used to refer to currency in several South Asian countries, particularly in India and Nepal. It is derived from the Sanskrit word "rūpya," which means silver. The currency is often represented by the symbol "₹" and is used for everyday transactions, trade, and economic activities. In India, the Rupiya is issued by the Reserve Bank of India and comes in various denominations, including coins and banknotes. In Nepal, the currency is known as the Nepalese Rupee, which is also subdivided into smaller units. Both currencies play a crucial role in their respective economies.
