A Bhopal State postage stamp worth 1 anna and three pies. A pie (abbreviated as Ps) was a unit of currency in India, Burma and Pakistan until 1947. It was the smallest currency unit, equal to 1 ⁄ 3 of a pice, 1 ⁄ 12 of an anna or 1 ⁄ 192 of a rupee.
ᐯ, ᐱ, ᐳ and ᐸ are the base characters "Pe", "Pi", "Po" and "Pa" in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics. The bare consonant ᑉ (P) is a small version of the A-series letter ᐸ, although the Western Cree letter ᑊ, derived from Pitman shorthand was the original bare consonant symbol for P. The character ᐯ is derived from a handwritten ...
The number π (/ p aɪ /; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.

An anna (or ānna) was a currency unit formerly used in British India, equal to 1 ⁄ 16 of a rupee. [1] It was subdivided into four pices or twelve pies (thus there were 192 pies in a rupee).
From 1957 to 1964, the paisa was called naya paisa (transl. 'new paisa') to distinguish it from the old paisa/pice which was a 1 ⁄ 64 subdivision of the Indian Rupee. On 1 June 1964, the term "naya" was dropped and the denomination was named paisa. Paisa has been issued in 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 25, and 50 paise coins.

Approximations for the mathematical constant pi (π) in the history of mathematics reached an accuracy within 0.04% of the true value before the beginning of the Common Era. In Chinese mathematics , this was improved to approximations correct to what corresponds to about seven decimal digits by the 5th century.
