The peseta (ISO 4217 code: ESP, standard abbreviation: Pta., Pts., or Ptas., symbol: ₧ (rare)) was the currency of Spain between 1869 and 2002. Along with the French franc, it was also a de facto currency used in Andorra (which had no national currency with legal tender). It was subdivided into 100 céntimos or, informally, 4 reales, but these subunits were completely out of circulation by the 1970s.

HAHAHA! Sorry for the bad quality of the clip. Remember that the camera got sprayed by the Air Wick sprayer that it shot by itself. WTF
