Spanish money: Currency and currency codes
One thing a translator has to know, or at least recognize, is various names of "Spanish money" or currency used in Spanish-speaking countries.
Whether you have to translate the currency amount for a translation, or know how much you'll get paid, it's important to know.
Below is a table containing the names of currency and currency codes for "Spanish money" used in 21 Spanish-speaking countries.
If you need to convert any of these currencies to another, check out the money translator page.
Remember, currencies don't always stay the same and there is always a possibility that those listed below will change. As such, I am not responsible for any changes that might occur.
