Burmese rupee Burma but no separate coinage was issued. When the Japanese invaded Burma in 1942, they introduced a new currency: the rupee, divided into 100 "cents". This currency was only issued in paper form. The rupee was replaced by the kyat in 1943. In 1945, the Japanese occupation currency was declared worthless and Burma reverted to using Indian coinage and its own rupee paper money. Following independence in 1948, Burma introduced its own rupee currency, consisting of coins and banknotes. One rupee was divided into 16 "pe" (equal to the Indian "anna"), each of 4 "pyas" (equal to the Indian "pice").
