Nicole M is a bit out of date. In spanish its called Lempira" if the one billed is denoted, everything above 2 is called Lempiras. It is issued in bills of 1,2,5,10,20,50, 100 and 500. 19.02 lempiras are equivalent to 1 US$. Our currency was named after "Casique Lempira" a native who faught againt the colonization and was killed in battle.

We also use coins of 50, 20, 10, 5 cents (the 2 an 1 cents are no longer in use, its more expensive to produce them that what they are really used for and represent)

Answer 6

The Honduran lempira, denoted by HNL, is the official currency of Honduras. One USD equals 18.75 HNL. The lempira is named in honor of the native leader who fought the Spaniards. His name translates to "gentleman of the mountain." His picture is on the 1-lempira bill and the 50-cent coin.
