The
peseta was the
currency of
Spain (and
Andorra, along with the
french franc) until
December 31,
1998. It was replaced by the
euro (€) in
1999 on currency exchange boards. Euro coins and notes were introduced in January 2002, and since
March 1,
2002, the peseta is no longer legal tender in Spain and Andorra.
The name was derived from the Catalan word "peceta", meaning "little piece" (diminutive of "peça").
