The peso has been the official currency in Uruguay since 1993, replacing the old pesos after the country suffered a period of high inflation.
On October 29, 1991, the Central Bank of Uruguay was authorized to issue new banknotes to replace the old Uruguayan pesos, which were equivalent to 1,000 new pesos. The currency began circulating by March 1993.
In the 1990s, a new mechanism was introduced to more accurately predict the value of the peso relative to the dollar, namely a floating band method.
Later, in 2002, with Jorge Batlle as president, Uruguay experienced a financial crisis due to capital flight, which made it difficult to control the foreign exchange market until months later when it was decided to switch to the independent floating system, which is maintained to this day.
After the maximum devaluation in 2002, a phase of currency appreciation followed. It should be noted that the coins use animals and national figures as motifs on the reverse.
