关于 Sri Lankan Rupee
The Sri Lankan Rupee was introduced in 1872, replacing the British Pound as the official currency of what was then British Ceylon. The country has faced a severe economic crisis since 2019, leading to a default and massive devaluation of the rupee.
The name 'Rupee' is derived from the Sanskrit word 'rupya', meaning 'wrought silver'.
