Money in Chile for Travelers

By the way, the reason for the lower Notes being polymer is because smaller notes are used more and gets worn down really fast so they make it more durable and it’s cheaper for the government not to produce more notes when those notes run down

5 pesos chilien

Love your videos help me $2000

Damn! The US dollar is going into the toilet. 20k chilean pesos is now only $23.33 😱

20 mil pesos was $35 dollars?? Its $24 now. Wow.

In the Philippines if you withdraw in cash machine
You can find it either 1000 pesos, 500pesos or 100 pesos
200.peso note are bit rare
50 and 20 are small to withdraw from cash machine but it's so useful

Sorry to say but coins like that in 50 pesos are old design

Polymer banknotes are expensive in cost productions I don't know why 10 and 20 thousands pesos notes are printed in cotton paper
While 1-, 2-, 5 thousands pesos are in polymer banknotes
I guess because smaller denominated notes are often you than the bigger one
So that's why they use polymer cus polymer is 2x durable innovative and secured
It's hard to counterfeit polymer banknotes hard to tear it
If you forgotten them in laundry it's ok you can wipe it out then it's ok

Is it big 110,000 chilean peso.?

i know how to count spanish number. Because in part of the mindanao visaya can count spanish number. like uno dos an so on.

I was searching chile and found your beautiful channel, from 🇵🇰 Pakistan

money, Money, MOONEEYYYY xD

i did not find the comments disrespectful at all in fact they make me laugh too, and don't take it seriously. When its comes to national pride;all chilean are hypocrites and if they are its because they don't know history that well... nothing to be proud of really.

When you have the 10 000 and 20 000 peso bills it's very useful to use them when you are going to pay a restaurant bill or buy cheaper stuff at big stores (malls or supermarkets) so you get change back. It's how we Chileans use them, specially in other cities that don't have the bip system and need low amounts of cash to move around.

You paid way too much for that cake and coffee

On every bill the name of the person on it is printed right bellow the singatures near the center of the bill note. Although is small.

The name of each character appears on the bill, along with the character's face (but the writing is so tiny, so maybe is kinda difficult to read). Also, is important to mention that the guy who appears on the 20000 bill is the only one who is not chilean, but is important in Latinamerica, so, that's why he appears in a chilean bill

a useful chilean phrase: por que Teorema rima y agarra el micro!

Edgar Allan Poe???? No is captain Ignacio carrera...he and 77 soldiers fight and old death Whit 2500 enemies in the war of the Pacific in the Peruvian Andes there's never surrender.......sorry my English is bad

"They Say : BRRRRR"

Hahaha, so true, you are quite good at saying numbers in spanish thou. Greetings from chile 😁

Hello please come to valparaiso / viña del mar is super close to santiago 1 hr 45 min away in bus

In Chile is very common to name 1000 pesos as "1 luca", so 20.000 would be "20 lucas". Also 100 pesos are "1 gamba". I hope that this slang to be usefull for foreign people cause we speak with many of this words hahaha

Hi guys! Can you please made a video about how to use the orange bikes and scooters around the city? Thank you! ❤️ I really enjoyed all your videos !

The "Star Wars character" on the 5,000 note was the 2nd Chilean to win a Nobel Prize my friend.

For Chileans 1 dollar is 650 pesos but for americans 1 dollar is 1000.

As a Chilean I really want to say I love your videos! I shared the metro one on the Discover Chile FB page which is for expats visiting or living in Chile. You might wanna check it out.

2700 is way too much for a "cortado",almost ridiculous

No sé si lo dijeron, pero los distintos largos de los billetes chilenos es para que la gente no vidente (blind people) pueda reconocerlos.

Good video!!.. I'm glad you guys are enjoying Santiago.. Don't pay attention to the sensitive snowflakes that can't take a joke (btw I'm from Santiago lol)..Keep enjoying your trip and posting more videos 👌☺️

I did find you funny! Hopr you keep traveling and cant wait to see all the things that you saw and enjoy over here 😊

I was about to comment the people in the bills, just to find the short sight of my fellow peeps. ~The history in those characters is amazing, totally recomended ;) hope someone can tl you guys a bit of it (sobre todo si van al norte: iquique, arica, antofagasta, tmb podrian visitar la serena y Copiapó) aunque wn chile teni pa regodearte viajando jajaja

This is so helpful!

I visited NYC last december and i had the same trouble as you did here in Chile lol. I never learned the coins, the shopper always counted them for me, it was embarrasing, and they indeed speak reaally fast.
Hope you enjoy the city!

1.000: Ignacio Carrera Pinto.
2.000: Manuel Rodríguez.
5.000: Gabriela Mistral (Nobel Prize in Literature, 1945).
10.000: Arturo Prat (National Hero).
20.000: Andrés Bello.

You don't say the fact that some chileans say "luca" instead 1000 pesos.

dude, you can read the names of the persons in the bill

Viva Chile mierda

10400 for 2 coffees and 2 pieces of cake?
What a scam

1000 Chilean pesos appears Ignacio Carrera Pinto, who was an important Chilean soldier who died in the battle of La Concepción. He is an important hero in our history, along with his battalion composed of 77 men fought against 1500 Peruvian soldiers. the 77 Chilean soldiers died, but only 500 Peruvian soldiers survived

is not edgar alan poe is a hero and I think you should give a little more respect, likewise the rest of the characters of the other characters that appear there

where in the world does those 2 cups of coffe and those awful pieces of cake cost 10 lucas?
Of course you'll never found where to spend your small change if you keep going to those places.
