What is Peruvian Nuevo Sol (PEN)

The Peruvian Nuevo Sol (PEN) is the official currency of Peru. The currency was introduced in 1991, replacing the old Peruvian Sol at a rate of 1 nuevo sol to 1,000 old soles, in an effort to stabilize the economy and bring down rampant inflation that plagued the country in the late 1980s. The symbol for the nuevo sol is "S/."

The currency is subdivided into 100 centavos. Banknotes are available in denominations of S/ 10, S/ 20, S/ 50, S/ 100, and S/ 200, while coins come in denominations of S/ 0.10, S/ 0.20, S/ 0.50, S/ 1, S/ 2, S/ 5, and S/ 10.
