Udaya Kumar conceptualized the design for Rupee symbol for Indian currency. The symbol is designed using the Devanagari letter र ‘Ra’ and Roman capital letter ‘R’. The letters are derived from the word Rupiah in Hindi and Rupees in English, so the symbol is meaningful to both Indians and international users. The symbol also uses the Shiro Rekha, the horizontal top line which is unique to Indian Devanagari script. The two horizontal lines form an "equals" sign, which also evokes the tri-color Indian flag. Ambika Soni approved the new rupee symbol on July 15, 2010. Udaya Kumar was awarded prize money of ₹250,000 for his efforts.
I personally believe that this is one of the most odd mistake of this universe, done in India for it's currency level...
Really very high thinking about pravdhan, savdhan, grunan, adhigrunan of "R" factor in all kind people and animals...
But considering with economy or any kind transaction of currency symbol is presently very hard to get growth in international market with symbolism ...
But India is growing up so fast as per IMF, Nilsson, etc finance company watching the growth....
That's my personal view about symbol...
