Having found a Peruvian ten "intis" note, I am curious to see how
extremely little it is worth in United States Dollars. My calculator
can't handle the math. The intis changed to Nuevos Soles in 1990 I
believe.

1 Nuevo Sole = 1,000,000 Intis
1 USD = 3.255 Peruvuan Nuevos Soles

Thanks!

Hi!!

I found that the Law Nš 25295 from January, 1991 established as
monetary currency the Nuevo Sol in Peru.
The exchange ratio between yhe Inti and the Nuevo Sol is (as you stated):

1.00 Nuevo Sol = 1,000,000.00 Intis
http://www.bcrp.gob.pe/espanol/WTesoreria/normas-legales/ley_25295.htm

The exchange ratio between the Nuevo Sol and the US Dollar varies
slightly from one day to other, but it is in the range of the ratio
stated by you:

1.00 USD = 3.255 Nuevos Soles
or
1.00 Nuevo Sol = 1.00/3.255 USD = 0.30722 USD
"U.S. Dollar to Peruvian Nuevo Sol Exchange Rate - Yahoo! Finance":
http://finance.yahoo.com/currency/convert?amt=1&from=USD&to=PEN


If 1.00 Nuevo Sol = 1,000,000.00 Intis, then:
1.00 Inti = 1.00 / 1,000,000.00 Nuevos Soles = 0.000001 Nuevos Soles

Then:
10.00 Intis = 10.00 * 0.000001 Nuevos Soles = 0,00001 Nuevos Soles

0,00001 Nuevos Soles = 0,00001 * 0.30722 USD = 0.0000030722 USD


So we have that:
10.00 Intis = 0.0000030722 USD (= 1/325,500 USD)


Note that you can buy a 10 intis bank note at 1.00 USD aprox. :

Great answer! Thanks for the info on how you found it. I know it was a
fairly simple calculation, but the zeros were making me dizzy! :P

Thank you for the good rating and comments.
