Swedish Krona to Chilean Peso

The Swedish Krona (symbol: kr, code: SEK, number 752) is the national currency introduced in 1873 as the currency of the Scandinavian Monetary Union. It has later on become the internal currency for Sweden. Although Sweden is a member of the EU, the payments are supposed to be done officially is in kronas.

So far, joining the Eurozone with further transition to the single currency system is not being considered. One krona is subdivided into 100 ore coins. Ore has been discontinued, remaining only part of the formal mathematical financial accounting.

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.
