Back when: I remember purchasing 5 square lopsi ko titaura for 5 paisa.  Lamo titaura was 5 paisa each.  Pustakari and coconut candy used to cost 10 paisa.  This was probably around '81 or '82.   Nowadays: Just got back from Nepal.  Anything less than Rs.5 is rarely used.  Shopkeepers hand out candy in place of returning Rs.1 or Rs.2 change.   I don't think paisa, sukka, mohar exist anymore.

Woah!! that was way too cheap eventhough we compare the GDP per capita of now and then years. Like you mentioned, one thing that I dont like is the way shopkeeper hands out candy/other goods instead of returning the exact change.
