Old Indian Currency System

Phootie Cowrie to Cowrie
Cowrie to Damri
Damri  to Dhela
Dhela  to Pie
Pie to  to Paisa
Paisa to Rupya
256 Damri = 192 Pie = 128 Dhela = 64 Paisa (old) = 16 Anna = 1 Rupya

Now u know how some of the indian sayings originated..
ek 'phooti cowrie' nahin doonga...
'dhele' ka kaam nahin karti hamari bahu...
chamdi jaye par 'damdi' na jaye...
'pie pie' ka hisaab rakhna...
