A pie (abbreviated as Ps) was a unit of currency in India, Burma and Pakistan until 1947. It was the smallest currency unit, equal to 1⁄3 of a pice, 1⁄12 of an anna or 1⁄192 of a rupee. During the mid-nineteenth century, one pie was worth 12 cowry. [1]
Minting of the pie ended in 1942, though it remained in circulation for a further five years. The pie was demonetized in 1947 as it had become practically worthless due to inflation. [note 1]
The first number is the number of rupees, the second is the number of annas (1/16), the third is the number of pices (1/64), and the fourth is the number of pies (1/192). Examples are below.
