Icelandic Króna to Chilean Peso

The Icelandic krona (symbol: kr, codes: ISK, and 352) is the national currency of Iceland. Since the country is not a member of the EU and the Eurozone, the krona is the only official currency in the state. One krona is subdivided into 100 aurar, but coins less than 1 krona have been discontinued.

The Icelandic krone banknotes have been printed since 1885, remaining one of the few European currencies to have been preserved virtually unchanged since the 19th century. In 1981, a denomination took place in Iceland. Citizens received the new krone at the rate of 100: 1.

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.
