Prior to the adoption of the dollar, Puerto Rico had its own currency. During the Spanish period, the Puerto Rican peso circulated. After the Spanish-American War of 1898, the Puerto Rican dollar was introduced and was in circulation until 1913. These old bills, known as "provinciales", are now highly valued collector's items and reflect the rich history of the island, with designs that included local symbols and important figures of Puerto Rican culture.
