Mexican Peso to Belizean Dollar

During the denomination of 1993 the old pesos were exchanged for new ones at a rate of 1000:1. The currency is accepted in the country on the par with the US dollar. To avoid any confusion, the symbol of the national currency is written as an S with one vertical trait, whilst the US dollar - with two. Symbol “ $” happened to be first used to denote the peso and not the USD.
