Banknotes in Peru
Peru’s national currency is the Peruvian sol (PEN), the currency of Peru, issued by the Central Reserve Bank. The currency code is PEN, and the PEN currency symbol is “S/.”
Current banknote denominations include 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 Peruvian soles, each showcasing historic figures and stunning Peruvian landmarks such as Machu Picchu.
Modern Peruvian sol notes feature advanced security details, including watermarks, microprinting, and colour-shifting ink to prevent counterfeiting.
These design upgrades ensure the currency remains durable and easy to check when travelling in Peru.
If you’re planning a holiday, it’s smart to buy Peruvian soles online in advance to lock in a competitive exchange rate and enjoy secure home delivery before you travel.

Each features distinct designs reflecting Peru’s cultural heritage, from ancient motifs to national symbols and figures.
