The name “Uruguay” is derived from the Indigenous Guarani language. The country is home to about 3.5 million people, most of whom (about two million people) live in and around the capital and largest city, Montevideo. The Uruguayan Peso is the official currency of Uruguay. The name has been in use since the European settlement. The present currency was adopted in 1993 and is subdivided into 100 centésimos. In the 1830s, Uruguay used a currency called “peso fuerte,” which means “strong peso.” In the early 1900s, Uruguay introduced a new peso that was based on the gold standard. This led to a stable period for the currency until World War I.  After World War II, the country decided to issue a new currency called the “nuevo peso,” the new peso. While some countries print their own banknotes and mint their own coins locally, since 1855, Uruguay has printed its money outside of the country. Other mints and printers in Britain and even the United States create the majority of the Uruguayan Peso currency. With regard to the authority responsible for issuing the currency, the Bank of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay was created in 1896, but later on this power was given to the Central Bank of Uruguay, founded in 1967. Since them the Central Bank of Uruguay has been the one in charge of issuing the Uruguayan peso.  Coins for Uruguay were first struck at the Royal Mint in 1953. The nuevo peso replaced the peso on 1 July 1972. OBVERSE : Scale (ancient roman type), short name of the country on top, date below.
