It seems like this page should become a disambiguation page (and there should be pages for the Indian Rupee, Pakistani Rupee, "Hyrule" Rupee, etc...)
Japan also used Rupees in the past. Not sure of the timescale but certainly during WW2.
The Japanese issued Rupees, but these were for the Japanese occupation of Burma (1942-45). - ( Aidan Work 01:50, 21 November 2005 (UTC))
Why are some "rupees" capitiolized and some not? shouldn't all be non-caps? Joe I 21:35, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Everyone has had since 2005 to speak their mind. The currency should not be capitalized. I just fixed it. Blue Rasberry 16:37, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
Images and infomation about other variants of the rupee in other countries should be noted in this article ( User:71.116.94.54 12:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC))
It mentions it used to be worth about six dollars in current currency, but I see no indication of current worth. - Iopq 09:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
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 suppose 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 2009(UTC)

Image:5000rupiah2001.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The map in the main article needs to be altered to remove Indonesia. Indonesia is not Rupee territory. Although the word Rupiah may have the same etymology as Rupee, the Rupiah is not a Rupee. The Rupiah is actually descended from the Dutch two and a half silver Guilder coins that corresponded to the Spanish silver dollars in the Netherlands East Indies. David Tombe ( talk) 15:07, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
Admittedly, but the Indionesian word 'Rupiah' is descended from the same sanskrit term as Rupee. Additionally, the hindi word for Rupee, 'Rupiya' is pronounced the exact same way. Rupee is an anglicized version of our currencies, and can be used for Indonesia as well. I actually saw an IMF picture depicting Turkey and (formerly) Italy as 'pound' territory on the basis that 'lira' is simply pound in another language, so Rupiah will definately qualify for Rupee status. Here in India we barely use the word 'Rupee' in English conversation, we denote sums like 'lakh' or 'Crore' and for small sums, we simply us the ubiquitous term, 'buck'. ( Totaldutchacess ( talk) 08:22, 1 July 2010 (UTC))
@Bmurthy --> Hindi and Urdu (i.e. Hindustani) pronounce it as Rupiya or Rupp-yaa. Ru-pa-ya is incorrect. The most common pronunciation has a soft 'i'. Hindi-Urdu have a general [y -> soft i + y] tendency. Similarly, Zyada (more) is pronounced ziyada, with a soft 'i'. Buffalo (भैंस) is bhains but Brother (भैया) is bha-i-ya. Words like these can be used to tell native and non-native speakers of Hindi apart. Another example is पालतू (tame, as in Shaikh Paltu), which in strict Nagri reading would be Pa-la-too but is pronounced as Paal-too by native speakers. 'Devanagri' (देवनागरी) iself is an example - non-native speakers often say Day-va-na-ga-ree. Native Hindi speakers say Dev-naag-ree, and will often transcribe it as Devnagri in English lettering. This process of how Nagri spelling came to be standardized slightly differently from actual pronunciation is described in http://books.google.com/books?id=0X1jAAAAMAAJ (Hindi and Urdu since 1800: a common reader) if you are interested. Hindi speakers still understand non-native speakers perfectly if strict Nagri-based pronunciation is followed, but they know instantly that the speaker is non-native. -- Hunnjazal ( talk) 05:28, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
I have edited and moved the information regarding the new symbol for Indian rupee from the top of the intro page to under the 'Indian Rupee' section. The intro should be about the definition and other such facts. -- ifesvr ( talk) 11:07, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Rupee's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

The table has Telugu రూ (ru) and Sinhala රු (ru), but Kannada ರ (ra). Should this be ರೂ (ru)? If I plug ರೂ into Google Translate, it gives me "Rs" as the English equivalent. Do they really use just ra in Kannada or is this a typo? Pelagic ( talk) 19:49, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
A large part of this article is taken up with a section on the symbol. Elsewhere we have Dollar sign, Euro sign, Yen sign, Indian rupee sign, Ruble sign and so on. So unless anyone objects, I would like to spin off the #Symbol section of the article into a new Rupee sign article, leaving just a {{main|Rupee sign}} and a short summary here. Comments? -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 23:28, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
Is this column really worth having? It seems to me to contrary to WP:NOTGUIDE. It is always out of date. The individual articles each have a section giving links to forex rate sites if anybody wants to know. Does it have any useful purpose, or is it just yet another proxy for the India/Pakistan rivalry? Is there any convincing reason to keep it? -- John Maynard Friedman ( talk) 11:37, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
11.66 g, .917 fine silver)
What the fuck does this mean?
Either the coin weighs 11.66 grams and the purity is 11/12, fine, that makes sense. Why not just say so?
OR the coin contains exactly 11.66917 g of pure silver but we don't know how much alloy — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a02:c7d:b730:5800:449e:676d:f348:8e41 ( talk) 23:47, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

"The European powers started minting coinage as early as mid-17th century, under patronage of Mughal Empire."
IIRC, coins were minted in Europe by the 4th millennium BCE (Crete, Minoan civilisation), and not by authority of the Mughal empire, which did not exist until the Middle Ages. If this sentence is meant to say that the European powers started minting coinage within the Mughal Empire under patronage, please explicitly say so as the sentence as it stands is misleading IMO. I don't right now have the time to chase down the sources on this matter, which is why I won't make the edit myself at this time, hoping somebody who does, will. Thanks. -- Stizzleswick ( talk) 01:31, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
