Introduction of Nepalese Currency

INTRODUCTION OF CURRENCY AND IT'S ALTERATION

Introduction

Currency generally refers to a term "Money". Money is the medium of  exchange for goods and services in the form of coins or paper notes. This is the reform made by our ancestors. Previously, there was barter system to make exchange of commodities. It created a lot of difficulty and loss to one party. To avoid this difficulty currency was introduced. It made the exchange of goods and services more better and effective. All countries have their own designs and style of introducing their currencies. Several values of coins or paper notes were given.
