Naming[]
Name of dollars often associated with rupees Indian currency, but in fact, according to Adi Pratomo, one historian Indonesian currency, the rupiah is taken from the Mongolian word rupia, which means "silver". It is the same as the meaning of rupees, but the pronunciation of dollars alone is native to Indonesia because of the addition of the letter 'h' at the end of a word rupia, very typical as the pronunciation of the Javanese people. This is slightly different from the assumption that many dollars is one of the units derived from the Indian currency. Indian Rupee actually also can be regarded as a derivative of the word rupia itself, so the Indonesian rupiah has the same level rather than as a unit derived from the Indian currency.
