Converting from Uruguayan New Peso (UYU) to US Dollar (USD)

What is Uruguayan New Peso (UYU)

The Uruguayan New Peso (UYU) is the official currency of Uruguay. It was introduced in 1993, replacing the old Uruguayan Peso (pre-1993), at a rate of 1 New Peso for 1,000 old Pesos. The currency is abbreviated as UYU and is symbolized by "＄" or "UY＄" to avoid confusion with other currencies that use the same symbol.

The currency is used both for everyday transactions and for international trade. As of now, banknotes come in denominations of 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 pesos, while coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 pesos, as well as in 1, 5, and 10 centésimos.

Converting UYU to USD
