Burmese Kyat to Chilean Peso

The Burmese kyat (sign К, code MMK) is the national currency of Myanmar. The country was previously known as Burma. The currency is not used in other states.

Pya is used as change for the Burmese kyat. Every MMK has 100 pya. The currency was officially introduced in circulation in 1952. Before that, the Burmese rupee had been used in payment operations. At some point, fluctuations of the American dollar ($) defined the rate of the currency of Myanmar. Now, the currency can float itself.

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.
