when was the indian currency devalued for the first time?
1966
bhutan has issued revenue stamps in 1954, 1966/1967 and 1996. the first release consisted of four revenue stamps issued in 1954 in tibetan currency: 1 trangka, blue; 2 trangka, red, 4 trangka, green and 8 trangka, orange. these stamps were also made valid for postage as of 1 january 1955 (see above ‘dzong dak system and the use of fiscals as postage’) until the introduction of the postage stamps in 1962, although they appear to have been postally used until at least 1964. the set has been reprinted in the 1950s on paper that varies from the first printing in 1954, while also the colour ink may differ. a surcharged issue on the blue 1 trangka revenue stamp had been reportedly released in 1961 or 1962, diagonally surcharged respectively with "10np" and "25np" (np standing for new paisa, so using the indian currency), but identified as fakes originating from kathmandu, nepal.
