According to EL Pais, the day before the Spaniards could exchange pesetas in banks for the last time.

Since July, pesetas in Spain can only be used as collectibles.

All old banknotes and coins issued after 1939 were subject to exchange.

For banknotes issued during the Civil War from 1936 to 1939, expert judgment was required.

The greatest value for exchange was represented by coins in denomination of 5 pesetas in 1945, for which it was possible to gain up to € 20 thousand euros.

It is noted that on June 30, a queue of people wishing to exchange pesetas lined up in front of Spanish banks for the last time.

The peseta began circulation in Spain in 1864, replacing the escudos.

The euro replaced the peseta in 2002.

In 2014, it was reported that over 15 years, residents of Spain had not exchanged more than 270 billion pesetas for euros.
