  1. The Nuevo Sol (New Sun) is the current currency of Peru.  The Sol was the currency used from the 1800's until 1985.  Peru briefly changed to the Inti from 1985 until 1991 at which point the Nuevo Sol was introduced.  Just like the US has Dollars and Cents and the UK has Pounds and Pence, Peru has Nuevo Soles and Centimos.  

    In order from least value to greatest value, the Peruvian currency goes as follows:

    1 céntimo

    5 céntimos

    10 céntimos

    20 céntimos

    50 céntimos

    1 nuevo sol

    2 nuevo soles

    5 nuevo soles

    10 nuevo soles

    20 nuevo soles

    50 nuevo soles

    100 nuevo soles

    200 nuevo soles

    From 10 nuevo soles to 200 nuevo soles are all bank notes (paper money) and 5 nuevo soles and under are all coins.

    The current exchange rate (as of 13-Dec-2007) is $1 US equals 2.97 nuevo soles.  Pictures available of all denominations at the link under Source(s).


  2. The currency in Peru is the nuevo sol, currently the conversion is 1 dollar= 2.9950 soles

    the pictures are below:

  3. It is the Peruvian sol (Sol is spanish for "sun"). it is about 3 soles for 1 US$.
