  ECB: A farewell to the peseta
The peseta was most probably chosen to be the Spanish monetary unit in 1868 on account of its similarity to the French franc due to their common origin; this paved the way for it to join the LMU.
As with the franc, the silver peseta weighed approximately five grams and maintained the 1:15.5 bimetallic ratio with gold: in 1870, 100-peseta gold coins weighing 32.15g and five-peseta silver coins weighing 24.86g were struck.
Moreover, the peseta silver standard was a fiduciary standard and not based on value of content, since the intrinsic value of the metal used in the coins was lower than their face value.

 La peseta en época de Franco.
Pese a ello, se pueden destacar el billete de 1.000 pesetas de la emisión de noviembre de 1936, con la representación del Alcázar de Toledo; el de 500 pesetas, con la catedral de Salamanca; y el de 100, con la imagen de la catedral de Burgos.
La aportación de estos años a la historia de la peseta es importante por la absoluta sumisión de los tipos monetarios a fines propagandísticos y por la consolidación de la moneda fiduciaria.
De cualquier modo, el culto a la persona que manifiesta la moneda española desde 1947 contribuyó a sumirla en una inercia y una monotonía tipológica que la alejó de las tendencias manifestadas en otros países, mucho más ricas y relacionadas con acontecimientos importantes de la vida del Estado.

 EconPapers: A study of the credibility of the Spanish peseta
Abstract: In this paper we study the credibility of the Spanish peseta since its entry in the European Monetary System (EMS) in June of 1989.
The periods which exhibit the lowest levels of credibility are October of 1990, after the entrance of the British pound into the EMS, and between September and November of 1992, with the devaluations of the peseta and the exit of the British pound and the Italian lira from the EMS.
There also seems to be less credibility around March of 1995 with the devaluation of the peseta and at the end of March of 1996 after the last general elections in Spain.

 ECONOMÍA Y COYUNTURA : UNA PESETA ES LO MISMO QUE DOS PESETAS.
Si un euro equivale a 166,386 pesetas, un céntimo de euro equivale lógicamente a 1,66386 pesetas.
A la inversa, si calculamos cuántos euros son una peseta, obtenemos un resultado de 0.601 céntimos de euro, lo que aplicando de nuevo las normas sobre redondeo supone 1 céntimo de euro.
Repitiendo esa operación mil veces, obtendríamos 1.000 céntimos de euro a cambio de 1.000 pesetas, sólo que esos 1.000 céntimos de euro valen en conjunto 1.664 pesetas, algo que se puede repetir sucesivamente; así obtendríamos una rentabilidad superior al 66%.
