Fun facts about PHP
- In 1967, the Philippines revalued its currency and dropped three zeros from the old peso, transitioning to what is now known as the "New Peso" (₱). This was done to simplify the currency system and make it more manageable
- The first peso notes were issued in 1903 by the Philippine Islands Treasury under American rule, marking the official start of the Philippine Peso as we know it today.
