French Indian rupee

French Indian rupee

The roupie or rupee was the currency of French India. It was equal to the Indian rupee issued by the British and then Indian governments. Until 1871 it was issued as coins with the roupie divided into 8 "fanons", each of 3 "doudous" or 20 "cash". From 1871, banknotes were issued by France's "Bank of Indochina" which circulated alongside coins issued by British India.
