The Chilean Peso
has been legal tender for Chile since 1975, resumes the use of the peso sign ($) and is regulated by the Central Bank of Chile, which controls the amount of money created.
The Chilean currency was established in 1817 after the country's independence, but it was until 1851 that the decimal system was established in the Chilean peso, which is now 100 cents. Over time, the currency changed, but is currently counted in whole pesos.
To date, you can find 5, 10, 50, 100 and 500 pesos coins, the latter being the first bimetallic coin produced in the country. In 2009, attempts were made to create 20 and 200 pesos coins, but the project was repudiated by Congress. Meanwhile, in 2017 it was approved that the 1 and 5 peso coins should be discontinued.
Similarly, in October 2018, the Central Bank of Chile announced that it would begin to withdraw 100-peso coins created between 1981 and 2000 from circulation, in order to reduce their coexistence with current currencies, although they are still in force.
In terms of economic issues, Chile resented the blow caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially after the close of 2021 with inflation of 7.2%, its highest level in 14 years and well above the Central Bank's 3% target.
Although for 2022 the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised the growth of most Latin American countries downwards, this is not the case for Colombia, Peru and Chile, whose expectations continue to rise after showing surprising growth and recovery at the end of 2021.
