The escudo (sign: 15px;〔Because of the difficulty in supporting rendering for the ''cifrão'' sign, the dollar sign $ is frequently employed even for official purposes.〕 ISO 4217: CVE) is the currency of the Republic of Cape Verde. Amounts are generally written by using the ''cifrão'' as the decimal separator, such as for 20 escudos, or for 1000. == History == The escudo became the currency of Cape Verde in 1914. It replaced the Cape Verdean real at a rate of 1000 réis = 1 escudo. Until 1930, Cape Verde used Portuguese coins, although banknotes were issued by the Banco Nacional Ultramarino specifically for Cape Verde beginning in 1865. Until independence in 1975, the Cape Verde escudo was equal to the Portuguese escudo. Subsequently it depreciated, declining by about 30 per cent in 1977-8 and by a further 40 per cent in 1982-84. Thereafter, it remained fairly stable against the Portuguese escudo. In mid-1998 an agreement with Portugal established a pegged rate of 1 Portuguese escudo = 0.55 Cape Verdean escudo. Since the replacement of the Portuguese escudo with the euro, the Cape Verdean escudo has been pegged to the euro at a rate of 1 euro = 110$265. This peg is supported by a credit facility from the Portuguese government. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cape Verdean escudo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
