Mexican peso

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The peso (sign: $; code: MXN) is the currency of Mexico. The symbol used for the peso is "$", basically the same as for the US dollar since the dollar derived its logo from the Spanish-Mexican currency. It is one of the top most traded currencies in the world . The current ISO 4217 code for the peso is MXN; prior to the 1993 revaluation (see below), the code MXP was used. The peso is subdivided into 100 centavos, represented by "¢". The name was originally used in reference to pesos oro (gold weights) or pesos plata (silver weights). The translation of peso from Spanish to English is weight. As of April 20, 2009 its exchange rate was 13.4102 Mexican pesos against one U.S. dollar.
