The revolutio...n was short-lived - this money ceased to circulate in 1901. The US took control of the Philippines and launched a currency that was pegged to the price of gold, which at the time was about half the value of the United States dollar (USD). The peg of £2 to the dollar continued until the country became independent in 1946.
