British India Pie Coins Gave More People a Share
March 13, 2026
British India’s monetary system of yore once contained a coin known as a “pie,” a small denomination that was worth 1/3rd a paisa, 1/12th an anna, or 1/192nd of a rupee. It was indeed a very small coin, much more akin to the United States half cent in terms of relative value to a dollar than, say, a “penny” or one cent coin.
