Official Currency of Philippines

As an old colony of the United States, the country used English for its official currency, with the word "peso" which is appearing on notes and coinage until the year 1967. Since there is the adoption of the usage of the Philippine language on banknotes and coins, the term "piso" is now commonly used. From September 2017 to 2 August 2018, the ISO 4217 standard is currency by the Filipino term "piso." It has been changed back to "peso" since then. The peso is usually shown by the symbol "₱." Other methods of writing the Philippines currency peso sign are "PHP," "PhP," "Php," or just "P." The "₱" symbol was additionally added to the Unicode standard in version 3.2 and is shown by the symbol U+20B1 (₱). The symbol can be gotten through some word processors by typing in "20b1" and then pressing the Alt and X buttons simultaneously on the computer. This symbol is unique to the Philippines currency as the symbol used for the peso in countries like Mexico and a few others.
