Rupee joins elite currency club......

The Indian rupee will soon have a unique symbol, a blend of the Devanagri 'Ra' and Roman 'R', joining elite currencies like the US dollar, British pound ,euro and Japanese yen in having a distinct identity (shown in the picture aside left to right). So finally we got our own identity for our Rupee.

Though the symbol will not be printed or embossed on currency notes or coins, it would be included in the 'Unicode Standard' and major scripts of the world to ensure that it is easily displayed and printed in the electronic and print media.

Among currencies with distinctive identities, only the pound sterling has its symbol printed on the notes.

So finally worlds biggest economy got its identity..... hope this will take India on very high levels....
