History

The peseta (₧) was introduced in the second half of the 19th Century when Spain was preparing to join the Latin Monetary Union. Spain joined in 1868, the same year when the first Peseta was minted. It was equal to 4.5 grams of silver or 0.290322 grams of gold, the standard used by all the currencies of the Latin Monetary Union. Unfortunately, due to the political turbulences of the early 20th Century the monetary union faded away in the 1920s though was not till 1927 that the union came to an end officially.

The Peseta was replaced by the euro (€) in 1999 on currency exchange boards. Euro coins and notes were introduced in January 2002, and from March 1, 2002, the peseta is no longer legal tender in Spain and Andorra. The exchange rate was 166.386 pesetas to the Euro (thus 3 Euros are approximately 500 ₧).
