Spanish dinero

Spanish dinero

The dinero was the currency of the Christian states of Spain from the 11th century. It was copied from the French denier and served in turn as the model for the Portuguese dinheiro.

In most of Spain, the dinero was superseded by the "maravedí" and then the "real" as the unit of account. However, in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, the currency system based on the dinero continued, with twelve dineros to the "sueldo" and six sueldos to the "peseta".

Note that in modern Spanish, "dinero" means "money".
