This is very interesting. I was surprised to learn that the British had three currency zones, the Pound Sterling, the Dollar and the Rupee. [1]
The Rupee was used throughout the Indian subcontinent, East Africa and Middle East wherever the British had some sort of colonial presence from the mid 1800s till after World War I.
