The currency of Peru is the Peruvian sol, abbreviated as PEN. The sol is subdivided into 100 céntimos. Peru has undergone various monetary changes over the years, and the sol was reintroduced in 1991 after a period of hyperinflation that saw the introduction of the intí. The currency features famous Peruvian figures and landmarks, which reflects the country's rich cultural heritage. The sol is widely recognized and accepted throughout Peru for all forms of transactions, whether in urban areas or rural settings.
