Indiase rupee heeft nieuw symbool

(via http://blogs.ft.com/beyond-brics/2010/07/15/62286/#ixzz2HI3yOtlR)

“An amalgam of the Devanagari ‘Ra’ and the Roman capital ‘R’ without the stem…. [it] 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.”

Dat was waarom de Indiase minister van financiën zo in zijn nopjes was over het nieuwe symbool van de Indiase rupee
