| | | | | ISO 4217: Encyclopedia II - Thai baht - Monetary History Until 1897, the baht was subdivided into 8 fuang, each of 8 att. The present decimal system, in which one baht = 100 satang (สตางค์), was introduced by king Chulalongkorn. However, until the 1940s it was named tical, then renamed to baht. Originally the term baht was a weight unit of about 15 g and was adopted because one tical was equivalent to 15 g of silver.
Until November 27, 1902 the tical was fixed on a purely silver basis, but as the value of silver fell relative to gold-fixed currencies, ...

| | | | | ISO 4217: Encyclopedia II - Renminbi - Exchange rate of the U.S. dollar vs. the renminbi From 1994 until July 2005, the policy on currency has been to peg informally the value of the renminbi against the value of the United States dollar. This policy was praised during the Asian financial crisis of 1998 as it prevented a round of competitive devaluations.
In 2003, this policy came under criticism by the United States. The fall in the value of the dollar caused the value of the renminbi to fall also, making mainland Chinese exports more competitive. This led to some pressure on the PRC from the United States to increase th ...

Afghan afghani - First Afghani 1925-2003.
The first afghani was introduced in 1925. It replaced the Afghan rupee at a rate of 1 afghani = 1.1 rupees. [1] It had the ISO 4217 code AFA.
Prior to the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, warlords, political parties, foreign powers and forgers each made their own afghanis, with no regard to standardization or honoring serial numbers.

In April, 2000, the afghani traded at 6,400 AFA per USD. By 2002, the ...

| | | | | ISO 4217: Encyclopedia II - Peruvian nuevo sol - Nuevo Sol The nuevo sol ("new sol") was introduced in 1991 to replace the highly inflated inti. The ISO 4217 currency code is PEN (the inti was PEI).
The name derives from historical use and divination of the sun (sol, in Spanish) as a symbol of power, also as a (not-so-)subtle way of connecting the new currency (nuevo sol) to the old inti currency, which was named after Inti, the Sun God of the Incas, which in turn was derived from the old sol, derived from Latin Solidus, but misinterpreted as the homophonous word for Sun. ...
