History reference:
The Mauritian rupee is the national currency of the Republic of Mauritius. The territory of Mauritius covers the islands of Mauritius, Rodrigues, Agalega and the Cargados-Carajos archipelago, which a...re about 900 kilometers away to the east from the coast of the island of Madagascar. In addition, Mauritius lays claim to a number of islands and archipelagos in the Indian Ocean, which belong to Great Britain and France. Among them, it is worth noting the Chagos archipelago and Tromelin Island (condominium with France). During the colonial period of the existence of Mauritius, the Indian rupee was used as the main means of payment. In 1877, the British colonial authorities introduced the Mauritian rupee, which was divided into pence and shillings. In 1968, the Bank of Mauritius carried out a monetary reform and replaced the old banknotes with new ones. Further inflation processes led to the fact that the Bank of Mauritius was forced to issue banknotes of higher denominations.
