Between 1872 and 1916, Colombia had two parallel currencies, coin and paper. From 1907, the paper peso (sometimes called the peso corriente) was fixed at 1 centavo in coin, with new notes introduced in 1915 denominated in "peso oro" equal to the coin peso. There were even coins issued denominated in "Peso p/m", namely 1, 2 & 5 Pesos. We currently have these coins under the values of 1, 2 and 5 centavos (with explanation) and lump all the notes into a single currency. Can I suggest we create a new currency for the paper money and these coins called Peso (Paper Money) 1872-1916?

Interesting.
Where we can find information about this?
How you determine when a coin/note belongs to each currency?
Please let me know this info so I can process your modification request.
Just 10 options: you understand binary, or you don't.

The coins are pretty obvious and have been sorted. For the notes, this is the law specifying the fixing of the conversion rate from the old paper money (peso corriente) to the coinage (peso fuerte).
As far as I can tell, anything with peso corriente on the note belongs in the newly set up currency, which should be all the notes I've requested to be moved.
