Philippine Peso

The piso (Filipino) or peso (English and Spanish) is the currency of the Philippines. It is subdivided into 100 sentimo (English and Spanish: centavos). The ISO 4217 name is "Philippine peso" and the code is "PHP". Although the name as printed on the banknotes and coins changed from "peso" to "piso" in 1967, the name peso continues to be used locally in many contexts where the English language is used.

The peso is usually denoted by the symbol . This symbol was added to the Unicode standard in version 3.2 and is assigned U+20B1 (₱). Due to the lack of font support, the symbol is often substituted with a simple P, a P with one horizontal line instead of two (available as the peseta sign, U+20A7 (₧), in some fonts), PHP, or PhP.

The coins are minted at the Security Plant Complex. Banknotes, passports, seaman's identification record books, land titles, checks, official ballots, official election returns, passbooks, postal money orders, revenue stamps, government bonds and other government documents are printed in the Security Plant Complex or the National Printing Office.
