The Tamil Nadu Coinage (Alteration of References) Act, 1960, is a technical legislative instrument enacted to facilitate India’s transition from the British-era currency system (annas and pies) to the decimal coinage system (naye paise). Following the national adoption of decimal currency, this Act updated various state-level laws—such as the Presidency Small Cause Courts Act and the Madras City Police Act—to ensure that all monetary references, fees, and tax computations were expressed in the new decimal format. It applies to government departments, courts, and citizens interacting with these specific statutes, ensuring legal consistency and preventing confusion in financial calculations during the monetary reform period.
