I was going to save up my pocket change to buy Indian bread, but then I realized that would be a lot of naan cents.

I proposed that the U.S. Treasury use Indian bread to divide the dollar rather than coins but they said they’ve had it with my naan cents.

BREAKING NEWS: India to replace all forms of coinage with flat bread. Some may see this as revolutionary, however I consider it naan-cents.

Indian cuisine places should make little coin size naan bread and put it on the menu as Naan Cents.
