		At the time of its introduction, the peseta was equal to 4.5 grams of silver or 0.290322 grams of gold, the standard used by all the currencies of the Latin Monetary Union, and from 1873, only the gold standard applied.
		In 1967, the peseta followed the devaluation of the British pound, maintaining the exchange rate of 168 pesetas = 1 pound and establishing a new rate of 70 pesetas = 1 U.S. dollar.
		All in all therefore, recent generations of Spanish consumers have had to contend with quite a few changes and fluctuations not only in the name of the money they happen to be spending, but also its relative value.

		The peso, from which the peseta was derived, was, in its full form, the "peso de ocho" or piece of eight reals - a currency established in the late 15th Century.

		Separate peseta coins were issued by the republican and nationalist factions during the civil war in the 1930s and the nationalists refused to accept the validity of the republicans' coins.

		Spanish society under Muslim rule became increasingly complex, partly because Islamic conquest did not involve the systematic conversion of the conquered population to Islam.
		The lingering, "decline of Spain" after a long period of considerable growth of population was due in large part, ironically, to its spectacular successes in the 15th and 16th centuries that led to the centuries of the treasure fleets.
		Although the coup initially failed, the ensuing Spanish Civil War ended in 1939 with the victory of the nationalist forces led by the ruthlessly efficient General Francisco Franco and supported by Nazi Germany and fascist Italy.

	Implicit bands in the Spanish peseta/Deutschmark exchange rate, 1965-1998 - Applied Financial Economics
		The objective of this article is to identify implicit bands for the Spanish peseta/Deutschmark exchange rate.
		To this end, based on the 'natural' classification approach suggested by Reinhart and Rogoff (2004), we propose a statistical test to assess the statistical significance of the outcome of their classifying algorithm.
		The test is applied to the period 1965-1998, indicating our results existence of fluctuation bands in the 1980s and 1990s, before and after the entry of the peseta into the European Monetary System.
