The Mauritian Rupee is the currency of Mauritius.
 The rupee was established by law in 1876 as the local currency of Mauritius. The rupee was chosen due to the massive inflow of Indian rupees following Indian immigration to Mauritius. The Mauritian rupee was introduced in 1877, replacing the Indian rupee, sterling and the Mauritian dollar, with the Mauritian rupee equal to one Indian rupee or half a Mauritian dollar. The pound was worth 10¼ rupees at that time. The Mauritian currency also circulated in the Seychelles until 1914, when it was replaced by the Seychellois rupee at par.

In 1934, a peg to sterling replaced the peg to the Indian rupee, at the rate of 1 rupee = 1 shilling 6 pence (the rate at which the Indian rupee was also pegged). This rate, equivalent to 13⅓ rupees = 1 pound, was maintained until 1979.

  The first banknotes were issued by the government dated 1876 in denominations of 5, 10 and 50 rupees. 1 rupee notes were added in 1919. In 1940, emergency issues were made of 25 and 50 cents and 1 rupee. In 1954, 25 and 1000 rupees were introduced.

  The Bank of Mauritius was established in September 1967 as the nation’s central bank, and has been responsible for the issue of banknotes and coins since that time. The bank issued its first notes in 1967, comprising four denominations: 5, 10, 25, and 50 rupees, all undated and featuring a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on front.

Obverse: Portrait of young Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem "Diamond Diadem". This portrait was copied from a photograph taken by Dorothy Wilding during a single portrait sitting shortly after Elizabeth became monarch.

Queen Elizabeth often wears the Diadem on state occasions. The necklace worn by The Queen, of diamond flowers and leaves, was a wedding present from Nizam of Hyderabad and Berar.
The most common variety of this portrait is the engraving prepared for the notes printed by Bradbury Wilkinson and Company. This variety of the portrait is distinguished by the heavy shading on Her Majesty's right cheek and the tilt of the head. The value of 10 Rupees written in English, Tamil and Hindi.

Mauritian rupee is the official unit of exchange in the Republic of Mauritius. Mauritius, although being an African country, use rupee that is popular among Asian countries such as India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Indonesia and Maldives. As per the ISO 4217 regulation, the currency and the numeric code for Mauritian rupee are defined as MUR and 480 respectively. Like most of the other rupee denominated currencies, Mauritian rupee is depicted with symbols “Rs” or “₨”. The currency came into existence and has been serving the nation since the year 1934. The subunit of Mauritian rupee is provided by “cent” and is counted among the only three rupee currencies to use “cent” as its sub divisional unit.

Mauritius is a country that is counted among the rapidly developing nations of the world. Though it gained its independence in 1968 but was recognized as a republic in as late as 1992. This is the reason for the slow rate of development in the country before 1992 but in the present scenario, Mauritius looks much promising. It has transformed into a middle-income diversified economy from its outlook in the past as a low-income agrarian economy when it got independent. The financial, industrial and tourist sectors of Mauritius look brighter than before and are the backbone of the country's economy.

Mauritius along with Seychelles, are the only two African currencies that use rupee as their official currency unit as rupee's background is very much related to Asian continent. Initially when the currency was launched in 1934, it held a direct peg to the British pound sterling but currently follows a free float exchange rate regime. As far as the import export restrictions in the island country are concerned, the local currency cannot be imported more than the amount 700 MUR and the export limit for the same is Rs 350 MUR. The foreign currency import do not have any restrictions provided the amount be declared and export of foreign currency can be done only till the amount imported.

During the 15th and 16th century, when the concept of colonization developed among the European countries and the countries like Britain, France, Netherlands, Portugal etc conducted voyages to discover new lands, the route to the eastern world had Mauritius as an important way station. Portugal was the first European country to establish a base on the island but in the 1600s, Dutch annexed Mauritius. They brought along with them Dutch coins that used to circulate in the island at that time. French took over Mauritius in the year 1721 and as in the other colonies of France, French Colonial Livre that was abbreviated as XFCL started to be used in both coin and banknote form. Initially, the banknotes in French denomination were issued by “Compagnie Francaise des Indes”, a private French company that controlled the island. The company handed over the control to the French government in 1764 and consequently, the government started issuing its own notes. From 1768, the banknotes started to get issued locally and also other popular foreign currencies such as Spanish silver dollars and Indian gold and silver coins were used prominently with the official unit of account.

In the early 19th century, Britain captured Mauritius and changed the official unit of account to Pound Sterling but Spanish dollars were still popular as a prime medium of exchange. In an attempt to popularize the British currency, many attempts were made including establishment of a currency board in 1849 but all these steps didn't work. In 1876, Indian rupee was made the official currency of Mauritius due to its popularity and the pound sterling banknotes were withdrawn from the circulation. In 1934, Mauritian rupee finally replaced Indian rupee and formed a separate currency that was directly linked to pound sterling and note the Indian rupee. The responsibility of managing currency in the country was entitled to the Mauritius Currency Board from 1934 till 1967, when Bank of Mauritius came into existence and has been issuing the currency in Mauritius till present.

     During the height of the Siege of Malta, an acute shortage of one shilling coins occurred. Since no one shilling notes had been initially authorized under the Paper Currency Ordnance of 1939, the government amended the act to include this denomination. Immediate delivery of the notes from England was impossible as the notes had yet to be printed. Fortunately, the old stock of 1918 two shilling notes, which had never been issued, had not been destroyed and were already available on the island.
    Two shilling notes were overprinted “ 1 shilling” on the obverse and reverse, declared legal tender on 17 November 1942, and immediately placed into circulation. They were to circulate until the new 1 shilling notes could be printed in London and delivered to Malta. After the notes became available in April 1943, stocks of 1 shilling notes began to arrive as more ships entered Valletta due to the lifting of the siege. The old overprinted notes were then withdrawn, having served their purpose.

The one shilling note overprinted on old stocks of two shilling notes which had been prepared in 1918, but never used. The signature is that of Edgar Cuschieri, Malta Treasurer. The notes were originally printed by Thomas De la Rue and Company in London, but were overprinted locally and placed into circulation in November 1942.

Kuwaiti Dinar is the official currency of Kuwait. Each Dinar comprises of 1000 fils.
The dinar was introduced in 1961 to replace the Gulf rupee used in the countries of the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula between 1959 and 1966. Gulf rupee was issued by the Government of India and the Reserve Bank of India for circulation exclusively outside the country and was equivalent to the Indian rupee.
After concluding an accord between the Kuwaiti government and the Indian government, the first Kuwaiti Dinar was issued. Hence, all Indian banknotes and coins were withdrawn from the Kuwaiti markets as of April 1961 to be sent back to India. During the following two months, the Kuwaiti Banks and the Post Offices replaced the Indian Rupee with the Kuwaiti Dinar. Since one Dinar equaled 13.33 Indian Rupees, a total of 342 million Indian Rupees were replaced by 25.646.110 Kuwaiti Dinars during these two months.
The first Kuwaiti banknotes carried the photo of the late Amir of Kuwait; Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah, the signature of the Chief of the Council of Finance at that time; Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, and pictures of renaissance landmarks in the State of Kuwait. The phrase "The Kuwaiti Emirate" was engraved on the coins. After one year of dealing with this coin, the phrase was replaced by the word "Kuwait" after independence.
On June 1, 1968, the Law No. 32 was issued to organize banking, the Kuwaiti currency and the Central Bank of Kuwait. Nine years later, the Central Bank released new banknotes for circulation on the following phases:
• The first phase dated November 17, 1970. The new banknotes were of values ten (10) dinars, half (½) of dinar and quarter (¼) of dinar. On April 20, 1971, five (5) dinar and one (1) dinar banknotes were released. They carried the photo of the late Amir of Kuwait; Sheikh Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah.
• The second phase dated November 20, 1980. In the reign of Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, the Central Bank of Kuwait issued new banknotes.
• The third phase dated January 27, 1986. The Central Bank of Kuwait issued a new twenty (20) Dinar banknote. It was circulated starting from February 9, 1986.
• The fourth phase dated March 24, 1991. This currency release was characterized by its new and different colors. After the aggressive Iraqi invasion, Kuwaiti banknotes, assets and the gold reserve were robbed from the Central Bank of Kuwait. Hence, this new release came in different shape and colors to prevent the Iraqi invaders from benefiting from the stolen Kuwaiti banknotes. Banks and banking services stopped during the period from August 2, 1990 until the expulsion of the enemy.
• The fifth phase dated April 3, 1994. This release of national banknotes is the currently circulated currency in Kuwait. It is distinguished by the high technology and security techniques used in the domain of manufacturing and printing the banknotes.
After independence, and to mark the achievements reached in Kuwait in all aspects of life, the Central Bank of Kuwait released gold and silver coins and commemorative banknotes on the national occasions for the Kuwaitis and currency collectors.

Katanga was a breakaway state proclaimed on 11 July 1960 separating itself from the newly independent Democratic Republic of the Congo. In revolt against the new government of Patrice Lumumba in July, Katanga declared independence under Moise Tshombe.

The Katangese franc was the currency of Katanga between 1960 and 1963 during the Congolese province's brief independence. It replaced the Congolese franc at par and was consequently initially equal to the Belgian franc. This established an exchange rate of 50 francs = 1 U.S. dollar. Just before Katanga was re-annexed by Congo, the exchange rate had fallen to 195 francs = 1 U.S. dollar. The currency was replaced at par by the Congolese franc.

In 1961, a provisional issue of notes was produced by the government. These were overprinted on notes of the Rwanda and Burundi franc in denominations of 5, 10, 20, and 50 francs. On 9 January 1961, regular notes dated 31.10.60 were issued by the Banque Nationale du Katanga in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 francs. A second series of notes was also issued dated 1962 and 1963 in denominations of 100, 500, and 1000 francs.
