Iraqi Dinar to Chilean Peso

The Iraqi dinar (sign د.ع, code IQD) is the main currency of Iraq. Small coins called fils are formally used for change for the Iraqi dinar.

Every IQD has 1000 fils. However, since 1990, fils has not been used due to inflation. The currency has been issued since 1932. Before having its own currency, Iraq used the Indian rupee. Since their appearance, notes and coins have gone through several significant changes. Only one detail remained the same: all writing is duplicated in English and Arabic.

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.
