Watch out $, ₤, ¥, €…there’s a new currency symbol in town, I mean the WORLD.
India’s cabinet announced on Thursday the newly approved graphic symbol design for India’s currency, the RUPEE. It’s design reflects the Devnagiri ‘Ra’ and the Roman capital ‘R’ – and was chosen from 3,000 submitted designs by the Union Cabinet.
The designer’s, Udaya Kumar, “concept…is based on the Tricolour and “arithmetic equivalence”. While the white space between the two horizontal lines gives the impression of the national flag with the Ashok Chakra, the two bold parallel lines stand for ‘equals to’, representing balance in the economy, both within and with other economies of the world” (courtesy of: Indian Express).
The Indian Rupee joins the Dollar $, the Pound ₤, the Yen ¥ and the Euro € with its currency symbol on a global level, differentiating and indicating that India is slowly and surely rising.
