)The name of the rupiah is often associated with the Indian currency rupee, derived from sansekerta rupya meaning silver coin. But some argue that the name of the rupiah comes directly from the Sanskrit language and not the derivatives of the Indian currency. The word rupiah itself is the original pronunciation of Indonesia because of the addition of the letter 'h' at the end of the word rupya, very typical as the pronunciation of the Javanese. 
In the early days of independence, Indonesia has not used the rupiah currency but uses an official currency known as ORI. ORI has a circulation period in Indonesia for 4 years, ORI has been in use since 1945-1949. However, the legitimate use of ORI has only started since the official launch of this currency by the government as the Indonesian currency on October 30, 1946 
Rupiah has units underneath. In the early days of independence, the rupiah was equated with the Dutch East Indies Gulden, so it used even smaller units that prevailed in the colonial period. Here are the units that have been used, but no longer used because the decline in the value of the rupiah to make the unit is not important
