About Indian Rupee
The Indian Rupee (INR) is the official currency of India, the world's most populous country and fifth largest economy. The name "rupee" derives from the Sanskrit "rupyakam" (silver coin), used since the Maurya Empire around 300 BCE. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) manages monetary policy. The rupee was decimalised in 1957 and is divided into 100 paise, though paise coins below 50 are no longer in circulation. India's economy is driven by information technology services, pharmaceuticals, textiles, agriculture, and rapidly growing manufacturing.
About US Dollar
The US Dollar (USD) is the world's primary reserve currency, used in approximately 88% of all foreign exchange transactions globally. Introduced in 1792 with the Coinage Act, the dollar became the cornerstone of the international monetary system under the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement. Even after the gold standard was abandoned in 1971, the dollar maintained its dominant status - oil and most global commodities are priced in dollars, and major sovereign debt is primarily denominated in USD. The Federal Reserve System (Fed) manages US monetary policy.
