Chilean Peso to Canadian 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.

The Canadian dollar (symbol: CA$, code: CAD, number 124) is Canada's monetary unit since 1858. It is subdivided into 100 cents. The Canadian currency is among the most traded on the world currency market.

The CAD exchange rate largely depends on the state of the economy of the neighboring United States and the changing position of the US dollar. Although several generations of dollars have already been produced in the country, old issues are still accepted. All banknotes printed after 1935 remain legal tender.
