Pesos is the plural form of the Spanish word peso, which means “weight” or “coin”. It is the currency of several countries, including Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Uruguay. In English, the word “peso” is often used to refer to the Mexican peso, which is the official currency of Mexico.
The peso has a long and varied history. It was first introduced to the Americas by the Spanish in the 16th century. The peso was originally a silver coin, and it was used as currency in the Spanish colonies for centuries. After the Spanish-American War, the peso was replaced by the US dollar in many of the former Spanish colonies. However, the peso remains the currency of several countries in Latin America today.
