What's so special about Indian currency? Lots of currency the world over is color-coded. Greenbacks are somewhat anomalous in that regard.

And I don't think it's backed by Dust. It's too volatile, and is necessary for industrial processes. It's too specialized a material. It's like backing a currency with oil or coal or plastique. Modern currencies are backed by other currencies, and with a global economy like they have, it seems possible, though the much smaller number makes the supporting network not nearly as robust. Or it could be an international currency.
