WHAT DOES POISHA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Paisa

The paisa is a monetary unit in several countries; cognate terms include poisha and baisa. In India, Nepal and Pakistan, the paisa currently equals 1⁄100 of a rupee. In Bangladesh, the poisha equals 1⁄100 of a Bangladeshi taka. In Oman, the baisa equals 1⁄1000 of an Omani rial. The word paisa is from Hindi & Urdu paisā, a quarter-anna coin, ultimately from Sanskrit term padāṁśa meaning 'quarter part', from pada 'foot or quarter' and aṁśa 'part'. Until the 1950s in India and Pakistan, the paisa was equivalent to 3 pies, ¼ of an anna, or 1⁄64 of a rupee. After the transition from a non-decimal currency to a decimal currency, the paisa equaled 1⁄100 of a rupee and was known as a naya paisa for a few years to distinguish it from the old paisa that was 1⁄64 of a rupee.
