Indian Rupee to Chilean Peso

The Indian rupee (international symbol s:₹ , Re, Rs (plural), code: INR, number: 356) is the currency used not only in India, but also in the neighboring Bhutan. 1 rupee is divided into 100 paisa. The name rupee for local currency has been in use since the 16th century.

For a long time there were several types of currency units operating in the country. A single rupee throughout the country was introduced in 1835 at the time when India was a colony of Great Britain.

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.
