Rupia Indiana o Euro taroccato?

In un'intervista, Udaya Kumar, il creatore del simbolo della Rupia Indiana, afferma:

The symbol represents lots of things. It has a Devanagri ‘ra’ and Roman script ‘R’ which expands to the rupiya and rupee. Both denote the currency of our country. It represents our tricolor flag flying high at the top. It also represents the arithmetic sign “equal to.”

Sarà, ma a me sembra tanto un euro rovesciato e un po' "taroccato".
