The currency in Spain is the peseta
(pta). Coins are available in values
of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 500 ptas. The one pta. coin, worth
less than 1 US cent, comes in three sizes! While any of the others
(5, 25, 50 and 200ptas) come in two sizes. This can be rather confusing,
particularly as many vending machines only accept the older (larger)
version of the coins.
Notes come in denominations of 1000, 2000,
5000, 10 000 ptas; these are colored green, red, purple and blue respectively.
