Chilean Peso to Jersey Pound

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 Kersey pound (sign £, code JEP) is a currency used on the territory of the Jersey Island. It circulates along with the pound sterling. Pence (pennies) are used as change for the Jersey pound.

Every JEP has 100 pennies. The currency was introduced in 1837, taking place of the outdated French livre. The official languages of the island are English and French. Notes and coins demonstrate two denominations simultaneously. One of them correlates with the pound, the other one – with the livre.
