An important milestone was the creation of the Central Bank of Chile in 1925, which assumed sole responsibility for issuing banknotes. Throughout the 20th century, Chile underwent several changes in its currency, including the introduction of the escudo in 1960 and its subsequent replacement by the peso in 1975. A significant moment in Chilean notafilia was the issuance of the 10,000 peso bill in 1989, the largest denomination note up to that time.
