Instructions

1. Look up the current exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Indian rupees (see Resource). As of July 2010, it was one U.S. dollar to 46.6 Indian rupees.

2. Multiply the value of change you have by the value of the rupee to find out how many rupees you would have if you exchanged your cents. For example, if you have .73 cents, you would have .73 x 46.6 = 34.018 rupees, or about 34 rupees and 2 paise.

3. If $1 is equal to 46.6 rupees, that means 1 cent is equal to 46.6 paise.
