Mexican Peso to Kazakhstani Tenge

The Mexican peso (symbol: $, code: MXN, number: 484 ) is the currency of Mexico. It is divided into 100 centavos. The name "peso" was first used to denote Mexican money in 1863.

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.

The Kazakhstani tenge (sign ₸, code KZT) is the main currency of Kazakhstan, issued and used only within this Asian state. Tiyns are used as change for the Kazakhstani tenge. Every KZT has 100 tiyns.

The currency has been issued since 1993. It appeared after the dissolution of the USSR, taking the place of the Soviet ruble. Initially, Kazakhstan did not have its own treasury. Banknotes were printed in Great Britain. German specialists were engaged in minting. Some time later, the country has begun to issue the money on its own.
