The sol (Spanish pronunciation:; plural: soles; currency sign: S/) [3] is the currency of Peru; it is subdivided into 100 céntimos ("cents"). The ISO 4217 currency code is PEN . The sol replaced the Peruvian inti in 1991 and the name is a return to that of Peru's historic currency, as the previous incarnation of sol was in use from 1863 to 1985.
The sol also replaced the Bolivian peso at par, which had circulated in southern Peru. [1] Between 1858 and 1863, coins had been issued denominated in reales, centavos and escudos. The sol was initially pegged to the French franc at a rate of 1 sol = 5 francs (S/. 5.25 to £1 and S/. 1.08 to US$1).
The spot exchange rate is the current exchange rate, while the forward exchange rate is an exchange rate that is quoted and traded today but for delivery and payment on a specific future date. In the retail currency exchange market, different buying and selling rates will be quoted by money dealers.
The nuevo sol ("new sol") was adopted on 1 July 1991, replacing the inti at an exchange rate of a million to one. Thus: 1 new sol = 1,000,000 intis = 1,000,000,000 soles de oro. Inti notes and coins are no longer legal tender in Peru, nor can they be exchanged for notes and coins denominated in the current nuevo sol.
A currency pair is the quotation of the relative value of a currency unit against the unit of another currency in the foreign exchange market.The currency that is used as the reference is called the counter currency, quote currency, or currency [1] and the currency that is quoted in relation is called the base currency or transaction currency.
The exchange rate as of January 2025 is 3.76 soles to the US dollar. [111] It was instated in 1991, when the Peruvian government abandoned the inti due to hyperinflation of the currency; the sol has since maintained the lowest inflation rate in Latin America. [112] The sol replaced the inti at a rate of 1 nuevo sol = 1,000,000 intis. [113]
