Paisa
The paisa ((ベンガル語:পয়সা),(ネパール語:पैसा), (ヒンディー語:पैसा), ) is a monetary unit in several countries; cognate terms include poisha ((ベンガル語:পয়সা), in Bangladesh) and baisa ((アラビア語:بيسة), in Oman). In India, Nepal and Pakistan, the ''paisa'' currently equals of a rupee. In Bangladesh, the ''poisha'' equals of a Bangladeshi taka. In Oman, the ''baisa'' equals of an Omani rial. The colloquial term for money in Burmese, ''paiksan'' (), derives from the Hindi term ''paisa''.
The word ''paisa'' is from Hindi and Urdu ''paisā'', a quarter-''anna'' coin, ultimately from Sanskrit term ''padāṁśa'' meaning 'quarter part', from ''pada'' "foot or quarter" and ''aṁśa'' "part".
Until the 1950s in India and Pakistan (and before 1947 in British India), the paisa was equivalent to 3 pies, ¼ of an anna, or of a rupee. After the transition from a non-decimal currency to a decimal currency, the paisa equaled of a rupee and was known as a ''naya paisa'' ("new paisa") for a few years to distinguish it from the old paisa that was of a rupee.
==Terminology==
In Hindi, Afghan Persian, and other languages, the word paisa often means money or cash. Medieval trade routes that spanned the Arabian Sea between India, the Arab regions and East Africa spread the usage of Indian and Arabic currency terms across these areas. The word ''pesa'' as a reference to money in East African languages such as Swahili dates from that period.〔 An example of this usage is the older day Kenyan mobile-phone-based money transfer service M-Pesa (which stands for "mobile pesa" or "mobile money").
