This book traces the course of paper money in India, historicizing the changing symbolism on notes as well as the principles of notes issues. The first comprehensive documentation of India's free banking era, it walks the reader through how the competitive issue of money by private bankswas monopolized by the government and later by the central bank as money transitioned from the real to the symbolic and to the imaginary.
