The '''rupee''' ({{lang-ne|रूपैयाँ}}) is the official [[currency]] of [[Nepal]]. The present rupee has the [[ISO 4217]] code ''NPR'' and is normally abbreviated with the sign '''₨'''. It is subdivided into 100 ''paisa''. The issuance of the currency is controlled by the [[Nepal Rastra Bank]]. Several other currencies are also called [[rupee]]. |

==History== |

The rupee was introduced in 1932, replacing the silver [[Nepalese mohar|mohar]] at a rate of 2 mohar = 1 rupee. Initially, the rupee was called the ''mohru'' in [[Nepali language|Nepali]]. Its value was pegged to the [[Indian rupee]] in 1993 at a rate of 1.6 Nepalese rupees = 1 Indian rupee. <ref>http://users.erols.com/kurrency/asia.htm</ref> |
