Rupee

The form of currency used in the Zelda series. Usually they took the form of different colored gems which could be traded for goods or services rendered. If I remember correctly the color schema was as such: Green was 1 rupee, Blue was 5 rupees, Red was 20 rupees. (Thank Tabs)

Indian currency is called rupee. 1 rupee = 100 paise and these days 1 dollar is approximately 44 rupees ($1 = Rs. 44)
