What you need to know about the currency Colombian Peso
The official currency of Colombia is the Colombian peso (COP, symbolised as $). In 1810, the peso replaced the real and became the country's currency. In 1880, the National Bank of the Republic of Colombia was established, which has since been responsible for issuing and managing this currency.
In Colombia, banknotes of 100,000, 50,000, 20,000, 10,000, 5,000, and 2,000 pesos are used. In 2019, a new series was issued that also includes banknotes of 100, 50, 20, 10, 5, and 2 pesos. All of them are made of paper and feature the images of illustrious people from the country.
Regarding the currencies of Colombia, its currency includes the circulation of coins of 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 Colombian pesos. One peso is divided into 100 centavos, although these have not been used since 1984. On the obverses, there are elements of flora and fauna characteristic of the country.
In 2006, a 50,000 pesos banknote was issued in a vertical format, unlike the vast majority of banknotes in the world. Although it is no longer produced with this design, it is still possible to find it in circulation featuring the image of Jorge Isaacs, an important Colombian novelist.
The 2015 series of banknotes includes Colombian figures known worldwide, such as Gabriel García Márquez or Débora Arango. Colombia thus became one of the few countries in the world not to include political or military figures, but rather artistic ones, on its banknotes.
