About Uruguayan Peso ($U)
The Uruguayan Peso (UYU, ISO 4217 code 858, symbol $U or simply $) is the official currency of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay, issued by the Banco Central del Uruguay (BCU, est. 1967).

Uruguay is South America's smallest Spanish-speaking country (~3.4 million population) and one of Latin America's most-developed economies (~$80B GDP) — Uruguay consistently ranks #1 in Latin America for Democracy Index, Corruption Perceptions Index, Press Freedom, and Economic Freedom. The country abolished income tax, legalized cannabis (the first country to do so nationally, in 2013), abolished same-sex marriage prohibitions (2013), and legalized abortion (2012) — all under President José 'Pepe' Mujica's broad social-democratic agenda. Major exports include beef (Uruguay is the world's largest per-capita beef producer), soybeans, dairy products, rice, and cellulose pulp. BCU has gradually shifted to inflation-targeting framework.
