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.

British Pound Sterling

The British Pound Sterling (GBP) is the world's oldest currency still in use, with origins in Anglo-Saxon England where 240 silver pennies (sterlings) weighed one pound. The pound was decimalised in 1971, divided into 100 pence. Monetary policy is managed by the Bank of England, founded in 1694. The GBP is the fourth most traded currency in global foreign exchange markets and remains the third largest reserve currency despite the UK's departure from the European Union in 2020.
