Dam (Indian coin) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Dam (Indian coin) A Dam was a small Indian copper coin. The coin was first introduced by Sher Shah Suri during his rule of India between 1540 and 1545, along with ''Mohur'', the gold coin and ''Rupiya'' the silver coin 〔(Mughal Coinage ) at RBI Monetary Museum. Retrieved on 4 May 2008.〕 Later on, the Mughal Emperors standardised the coin along with other silver ''(Rupiya)'' and gold ''(Mohur)'' coins in order to consolidate the monetary system across India. ''Watch Your Language'' lists the coin as one of the possible sources for the English phrase “I don't give a dam()″, due to its small worth, but provides other sources as well.〔Gorrell, Robert, ''Watch Your Language: Mother Tongue and Her Wayward Children'', University of Nevada Press, 1994. (''Watch Your Language'' at Google Books )〕 ==See also==
