Hello, 

 

I am requesting the addition of British India to Myanmar as an issuer. The Raj's Rupee was tender for a near century, and the Kyat issued before and after it were interchangeable with the Rupee. The split between colonies occurred but a decade before independence and Burma used the same coinage (Special British Indian Rupee notes were issued for Burma, but in the same currency).

Yes, sorry if that was unclear. For almost a century, Indian coins were the currency in Myanmar and even after being split, the issued currency of Myanmar was simply overprinted British Indian Rupees until independence.

@Rajbarage , between the 1890's & the 1930's, Indian banknote types with ‘RANGOON’ inscribed on them were issued for circulation in Burma - which was a province of British India until 1937, when the Colony of Burma was created.
