There is no unambiguous version of the origin of the name of the coin poisha (sometimes: poysha), but it is undeniable that in several languages the term "poisha" (as well as "paisa, pice...") means money in general. In Bengali, poisha is denoted as "পয়সা", which literally translates as "money, coins".
