Aurangzeb felt that verses from the ''Quran'' should not be stamped on coins, as done in former times, because they were constantly touched by the hands and feet of people. His coins had the name of the mint city and the year of issue on one face, and, the following couplet on other:<ref name=Alamgiri>{{cite book |last=Khan |first=Sāqi Must'ad |translator-last=Sarkar |translator-first=Sir Jadunath |translator-link=Jadunath Sarkar |year=1947 |title=Maāsir-i-'Ālamgiri: A History of the Emperor Aurangzib 'Ālamgir (reign 1658–1707 A.D.) |location=Calcutta |publisher=Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal |page=13 |oclc=692517744 |quote=In former times the sacred Quaranic ''credo'' (''Kalma'') used to be stamped on gold and silver coins, and such coins were constantly touched with the hands and feet of men; Aurangzib said that it would be better to stamp some other words ...
