Defaulting the new Indian Rupee symbol in Numbers

Question

In Numbers, when I choose Indian Rupee as currency in cell format, I am still getting the old Rupee symbol. When I try to change the symbol to the new one, the cell format is getting changed as text. 
How do I default the new Rupee symbol in cell format?
Meaning when I go to the inspector, under "Cells" when I choose Cell format as Currency, I get a drop down of various currencies, including that of Indian Rupee. Here I want the new symbol to be defaulted.

Answer 1

As far as I know, the feature which is not a Numbers one but a system one is unavailable.
At last Apple adopted a more correct list of currencies symbols but I guess that they will need about ten years to discover that there is a new one for the Indian Rupee.
On my French System, your currency is displayed as "Rs".
My own tip would be to use two columns, one fo the amounts, one for the Rupee symbol.
We see the columns when the cursor is in the table but we don't see the separator, defined to None, when the cursor is no longer in the table.
Of course, you are free to send a request to Apple thru the dedicated channel :
Go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait at least for iWork'11 or 12 ;-)
I must add that I guess that if you get satisfaction one day, it will be an incomplete one.
On my French system, the currecy used here is correctly displayed as € but if I run the system in a language unused in Europe, the same currency is displayed as Euro.
Same behavior withe the dollar. When exemples are posted here by US askers we may see $ 12.45
but if I run the original document here on my French system, I get : 12,45 $US
