Chilean Peso to Philippine Peso

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 Philippine peso (international symbol: ₱, code: PHP, number: 608) is the currency of the Philippines that has existed since 1858. One peso is subdivided into 100 sentimos. Contemporary banknotes were developed back in 1969.

Since 1970, the peso exchange rate has been floating, regulated by the Central Bank of the Philippines. The entire money supply is located and used as a legal tender only within the state. The country has an official ban on the export of the national currency. Beginning with the year of 2013 the exchange rate of the Philippine currency against the US dollar has decreased significantly.
