"Decimalization" refers to any process of converting traditional units of currency, to a decimal system (units related by powers of 10).
The
dawn of 1961 ushered in a new era in the history of Pakistan. The age
old Anna denomination was replaced by the decimal system as Pakistan
switched over to the metric system. Now instead of One Pakistani Rupee
having 16 Anna or 64 Pice, from 1st January 1961 was to equal 100 Paisa. Stamps and coins were replaced according to the new Decimal system.
