    Money in Pashto

    Can someone please list down the various names for monies in Pashto.

    This is what I can remember and I know I am wrong:

    takka = penny
    chawanay = nickle
    hatanay = 50 cents??

        A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

        For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


        The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

            Very interesting to know that it was Sher Shah Suri that standardized and created the use of Rupee.

            Rūpya was used as a generic descriptor or a common noun for silver coins of any denomination at least since the Magadha kingdom. Rūpiya was adopted as the name of a silver coin weighing 178 grains minted in northern India by Pashtun (Afghan) Emperor Sher Shah Suri during his brief rule between 1540–1545. Suri also introduced copper coins called Dam and gold coins called Mohur that weighed 169 grains.[6] Later Mughal Emperors also standardised this coinage of tri-metalism across the sub-continent in order to consolidate the monetary system.
