Peruvian Sol
The Peruvian Sol (PEN) is the official currency of Peru. Introduced in 1991 to replace the Inti (which had suffered hyperinflation), the sol takes its name from the Latin word for sun, also depicted on Peru's national coat of arms. Peru is one of the world's top producers of copper, gold, zinc, and silver, making the sol a commodity-sensitive currency. The Banco Central de Reserva del Perú manages monetary policy, and Peru is one of Latin America's more economically stable countries.
US Dollar
The US Dollar (USD) is the world's primary reserve currency, involved in approximately 88% of all foreign exchange transactions globally. Established by the Coinage Act of 1792, the dollar transitioned to a pure fiat currency in 1971 when President Nixon ended its convertibility to gold — the collapse of the Bretton Woods system that had pegged all major currencies to the USD at fixed rates since 1944. Today the dollar serves as the global pricing currency for commodities including oil, gold, and most internationally traded goods.
