Photikodi was a currency of the Mughal era with the lowest value. 3 broken whips made one whip and 10 whips made one tail. Apart from this, in everyday Urdu language, "Phuti Koori" is also used idiomatically as a symbol of neediness, for example, I have not even a Phooti Koori left.
The oldest coin in the world is probably this "Photi Kodi". This Photi Kodi is "Kodi" or a split snail. Which is named after the leprous snail. Its use was common in the world as a currency some five thousand (5000) years ago in the ancient civilization of the Indus Valley. The name 'Photi' is given to it because it has a split on one side. That is why the Kodi snail is called "False Kodi". Naturally, the production of snails was limited. Its scarcity is taken to mean that it has value.
Three split snails were equal to one whole snail. which was a small sea snail. But both of them had some ultimate status/value. She was "Rupa". Which later came to be called "Rupiah". One ``rupee'' was equal to 5,275 ``photi kudis''. Among them there were ten different coins. Dooni', 'Choni', 'Athni' and then somewhere else it became 'Rupiah'.
The value of the currency was-
3 phooti koori = 1 koori
10 koori = 1 tail
02 tails = 1.5 feet.
One and a half pie = 1 dhaila.
2 Dhila = 1 paisa.
Three paise = one cent
Six paise or two taka = 1 anna.
Do come = Rosemary
Four come = lime
Eight coming = getting up
16 annas = 1 rupee
Just as "Phuti Koori" is also used idiomatically as a sign of neediness in everyday Urdu language, for example, I have not even a Phooti Koori left. Similarly
To be in need of leprosy
Damdi Jai Chidi Jai Nahi is actually used to describe a severe state of stinginess
Not having one foot is a sign of poverty...
Not having a dhile is a little poverty..
A takke times (indecent description of humiliating)..
Taka is also the currency of Bangladesh
Because the highest and most complete status was the rupee (in which there were sixteen digits), therefore, correctness of sixteen digits was equivalent to 100% correctness.
