Money has long since replaced bartering as the principal means of exchanging commodities and services in the modern world. The official money of India is the Rupee. Although there is 100 paise in a rupee, the lowest value coins in circulation as of 2019 are one rupee coins. The Reserve Bank of India has power over currency issuance. The Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934, serves as the basis for the Reserve Bank of India's function in currency control.
