Polish Zloty to Mexican 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 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.
