The rupee today lost another 15 paise to 67.50 against the dollar in early trade at the inter-bank foreign exchange market due to appreciation of the US currency overseas.

Dealers attributed the rupee's weakness to dollar gains against other currencies overseas and a lower opening in the domestic equity market.
