Polish Zloty to Chilean Peso

The Polish zloty (symbol: zl,, code: PLN, number : 985) is the official currency in Poland. The money is called this way here since the 16th century. Modern zloty appeared in 1919 after Poland regained its independence.

The name meaning "golden" was used to call so a ducat coin made of gold. Zloty is subdivided into 100 groszy. Upon the collapse of the socialist camp Poland has joined the EU, but has not yet become a member of the Eurozone, preferring to preserve its own national currency.

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.
