The Pakistani currency is called the rupee (Rs). It is issued by the State Bank of Pakistan and is divided into 100 paisas. The rupee originated from the Sanskrit word r笛pyakam, meaning silver coin. Pakistan began issuing its own coins and banknotes after independence from Britain in 1947. Currently circulating coins include the Rs. 1, 2, and 5 coins, while banknotes are issued in denominations of Rs. 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000, and 5000.
