We have our Indian relatives and friends visiting us from India and I've observed that they all tend to refer to Indian Rupees as Bucks. Is this just to sound a little more modern or westernised, or am I not understanding something here?

May be people are adopting new terminologies along with the growing technology......No harm if everything goes in a positive way......It is always good for us to upgrade with the new generation without forgetting our roots and traditions.....
