The currency of India is known as 'Rupee' and it is widely accepted in the Chennai city of Tamil Nadu. One rupee is equal to 100 paise. The currency is available in the form of notes as well as coins. The notes are available in the denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000. It is difficult to find one and two rupee notes in the market, now days. However, the coins are available in the denominations of 1, 2 and 5. It is advisable to use notes for big transactions and keep the change for giving tips, local transport fare and other small expenses.
Besides liquid cash, you can also use other mediums for carrying out your transactions, like credit cards, traveler cheques etc. Though these mediums are convenient, they have their own limitations.
