Converting from Uruguayan New Peso (UYU) to Singapore Dollar (SGD)

What is Uruguayan New Peso (UYU)

The Uruguayan New Peso (UYU) is the official currency of Uruguay, a country located in South America. Introduced in 1993, the UYU replaced the previous peso at a conversion rate of 1 new peso to 1,000 old pesos. The currency is symbolized by "＄" or "UYU" in international contexts.

Uruguay utilizes a fiat currency system, meaning the UYU has value because the government maintains it, rather than it being backed by physical commodities like gold or silver. The Central Bank of Uruguay regulates the currency and ensures its stability.

Banknotes and coins in UYU come in several denominations. The banknotes include 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1,000, and 2,000 pesos, each featuring notable figures and landmarks from Uruguayan history. Coins are available in 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 pesos. The currency is widely accepted throughout Uruguay for all forms of transactions, both large and small.

What is Singapore Dollar (SGD)

The SGD was first introduced in 1967 and is abbreviated as "SGD" in international currency exchanges. The currency symbol often used for the Singapore Dollar is also "＄", but is sometimes distinguished as "S＄" to prevent confusion with other currencies.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore manages the SGD, which is a floating currency; its value fluctuates based on market forces. This means that supply and demand affect the exchange rate of the SGD with other currencies, including the Uruguayan New Peso (UYU).

Banknotes and coins in SGD are issued in various denominations. The banknotes range from 2 to 10,000 dollars, and they are known for their vibrant colors and intricate designs, which often depict scenes representing Singapore's culture and achievements.
