Comments

In a country of 400 languages and over a dozen writing systems, it's important to think carefully about which ones to use. Most Indian scripts have their own numeral system, and numbers can be written in many different ways. This is where the design of Professor Anil Sinha of the National Institute of Design came into play. As well as using Arabic-Indian numerals to indicate their values, the 1, 2 and 5 rupee coins featured images of hands showing the appropriate number of fingers.
