Early Days
The Peso
The Colon
The Dollar

Content: On January 1, 2001, the country introduced the U.S. dollar as its new official currency; the dollar had greater stability than the colon and kept the country’s currency from destabilizing. The dollar remains El Salvador’s official currency as of 2011; because El Salvador cannot legally print U.S. currency, it began an education campaign to help its citizens understand the English-language denominations of the bills.
