The correct answer is option 2: Mohammad-Bin-Tughlaq. Mohammad-Bin-Tughlaq introduced leather token currency in India during his reign in the 14th century. The leather tokens, known as "tanka" or "mohur," were used as a substitute for gold and silver coins. The introduction of leather currency was an attempt to address the scarcity of gold and silver coins in the region at that time. However, the implementation of leather currency was met with numerous challenges and issues. The people did not trust the value of the leather tokens, leading to widespread confusion and economic instability. This decision is often regarded as a failed economic experiment in Indian history.
