1. They have small denomination coins also aside from paper money like the yen in Japan it all refered to as rupees or yen in Japan.
2. Indian paper currency is the Rupee and the coins are called Paisa. But I got 891.02 Rupees for $ 26.50 Australian. http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_rupee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Coins_of_india.jpg http://www.rrindia.com/currency.html 0.98= 50 paisa, 25p, 10p, 10p, 2p, 1p coins
