- Silver and copper coins based on the pagoda standard were struck from 1807. The copper cash struck at Madras circulated with copper cash ordered from England. The 40 cash seems to have gone out of use from 1818 when the pagoda standard was replaced by the rupee. The other copper denominations remained in use until replaced in 1835.
