Centesimo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Centesimo (plural centesimi) is an Italian word derived from the Latin centesimus meaning "hundredth". It was one hundredth of currencies named lira. But not all lira-denominated currencies feature centesimo as their one hundredth subunit. For example, the Turkish lira is divided into 100 kuruş and the Maltese lira is divided into 100 cents.
Currencies that have centesimo as subunits include:
[edit] Circulating
- Swiss franc (by Italian speakers only)
- Panamanian balboa (as centésimo)
- Uruguayan peso (as centésimo)
[edit] Obsolete
