Thailand Baht to Chilean Peso

The Thai baht (sign: ฿, code: THB, number:764) is the official currency of Thailand issued by the National Bank since 1928. The name itself has been used since 1928. One baht is subdivided into 100 satangs.

The currency has replaced Siamese tikal, although the name "baht" was used in the country even back in the Middle Ages. The word "tikal" is still used in everyday life referring to local money. The new banknotes depict the King of Thailand to demonstrate the country's special attitude towards the monarch.

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.
