	Peso - Uncyclopedia
		Peso is a term, originally from the Spanish language, meaning "really small amount of money" While the usage of the peso has mostly been limited to Spanish-speaking countries (such as Mexico, Argentina, and Stan) pesos are coming into increased use in many other nations as of late.
		Spain used to use a variant of the peso, known as the "peseta" (which means "little peso" in Spanish) but upon being conquered by the European Union switched to the euro.
		Pesos haven't become popular in the Middle East, however, a similar currency known as the dinar (which originates from an Arabic term meaning "tiny amount of money") has gained a foothold in many countries, including Iraq.

		The Spanish Philippine coins and the Mexican coins in circulation were collected by the treasury and exported to the San Francisco mint, where they were reminted into new coins of the weight and fineness prescribed by law.
		Peso coins were made of silver before, but today there is little you can buy for one peso, and the smaller coins have become almost meaningless.

	Re: Two Bits
		: "Listening to America" by Stuart Berg Flexner (Simon and Schuster, New York, 1982) has some detailed about "bits": ".Being worth one-eighth of a Spanish peso or Spanish dollar, the original Spanish 'real' or 'bit' was worth 12 ½ cents.
		Not only was this bit itself a coin, but the peso could be cut into halves, quarters or pie-shaped wedges of eights, so a bit was both a coin and a cut-off section of a peso worth the same amount.
		A peso is a piece of eight, because one peso can be cut into eight reals, or "bits".
