Converting from Peruvian Nuevo Sol (PEN) to Mauritanian Ouguiya (MRU)

What is Peruvian Nuevo Sol (PEN)

The Peruvian Nuevo Sol (PEN) is the official currency of Peru. Introduced in 1991, it replaced the previous currency, the Inti, at a rate of 1 nuevo sol to 1,000 intis. The currency is represented by the symbol "S/" and is divided into 100 cents.

The Central Reserve Bank of Peru is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency. The PEN is important not only for domestic transactions in Peru but also plays a role in international trade. Peru is known for its rich natural resources, including minerals and agricultural products, which are traded globally, impacting the demand for PEN.

In everyday use, you can find both coins and banknotes in various denominations. Coins typically come in 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 cents, as well as 1, 2, and 5 soles. The banknotes are available in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 soles. The design of the currency celebrates Peru's cultural heritage, featuring important national figures and scenic landscapes.
