CLP in the foreign exchange markets stands for the abbreviation for Chiles currency, known as the Chilean peso. The "old" peso was used as the currency in Chile between 1917 and 1959, when the escudo... (CLE) came into effect. The current (or new) Chilean peso was reintroduced on September 29, 1975, replacing the escudo with an exchange of 1 peso for 1,000 escudos. The Chilean people also refer to their currency as "lukoi" when referring to the 1,000 peso note, "quina" for the 500 peso coin, and "gamba" for the 100 peso coin. On September 29, 1975, instead of the escudo, the peso was reintroduced, the escudos were exchanged for 1000:1 pesos. During the years of the dictatorship, on the obverse of the 5 and 10 peso coins, the image of a winged woman breaking the chains was used, with the signature LIBERTAD (freedom) and the date of the military coup 9/11/1973 - the figure symbolized "liberation from Marxism". After the restoration of civil power in Chile, the design of the coins was changed, the image of the national hero Bernardo OHiggins was placed on the obverse.

New Zealand dollar banknotes are banknotes in circulation in New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Tokelau, Niue and the Pitcairn Islands denominated in New Zealand dollars. Despite its relative proximity t...o Australia and Polynesia, people began to settle in New Zealand only about 700 years ago. In 1642, the first Europeans appeared on the coast of New Zealand - they were Dutch sailors. In 1769, the English captain James Cook mapped almost the entire New Zealand coast. In 1814, the first permanent settlement of Europeans was founded in New Zealand - Christian missionaries from Australia. In 1840, New Zealand became a British Crown Colony. Before the advent of Europeans, the local inhabitants of the Maori people did not have money or commodity-money. Natural exchange prevailed. Together with European sailors, coins appeared in New Zealand - English, Dutch, Spanish. After New Zealand became part of the British colonial empire, the pound sterling zone spread to its territory.
