What is the official currency in Peru?
Nuevo Sol (S/.). There are coins of 5, 10, 20 and 50 Centimos as well as 1, 2 and 5 Soles and banknotes of 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 Soles. Unfortunately there is quite a lot of counterfeit money in circulation. Upon arrival, let local people show you how to identify false money (notes and coins) and always check your change after making payments.
