Bahraini dinar to Chilean Peso

The Bahraini dinar (sign BD, code BHD) is the currency of Bahrain, used in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates for 8 years from 1966. Today, it is only used in circulation within Bahrain itself. Dinar’s coin is called fils.

One BHD equals 1000 fils. The currency has first been issued in 1966. Before that, Bahrain used the Gulf rupee for payment. The national central bank has undertaken the currency issuance since 2006. The rate of the national currency is connected to the American dollar.

The Chilean peso (sign $, code CLP) is the national currency issued and spread only in Chile. The Chilean peso can be changed into coins named centavo. Every CLP has 100 centavos.

The currency had appeared in circulation in 1817, but was later replaced with escudo. However, the Chilean peso has been issued again. Today, both currencies are used at the same time. In 2008, the state mint has issued 50 commemorative coins with a misspelling of the country’s name. Some of these coins were sold at auction. Having a face value of 50 peso, their price could go up to 20 thousand peso. This nuisance led to the fact that the head of the mint was fired.
