About Guatemalan Quetzal (Q)
The Guatemalan Quetzal (GTQ, ISO 4217 code 320, symbol Q) is the official currency of the Republic of Guatemala — named after the Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno), the country's national bird, which was sacred to ancient Maya and Aztec civilizations and was used as currency in the form of its iridescent green tail feathers. Issued by the Banco de Guatemala (Banguat, est. 1946). Subdivided into 100 centavos. Banknotes: Q0.50 (rare), Q1, Q5, Q10, Q20, Q50, Q100, Q200 (the highest denomination, introduced 2009; current series features Guatemalan historical figures — Tecún Umán the K'iche' Maya hero who fought Spanish conquistador Pedro de Alvarado in 1524, Justo Rufino Barrios, Mariano Gálvez, Manuel Lisandro Barillas, Maria Chinchilla, Ramón Belejú, Andrés Curruchich); coins: 1 centavo, 5 centavos, 10 centavos, 25 centavos, 50 centavos, Q1. Guatemala is Central America's largest economy by population (~17 million) and the second-largest by GDP (~$95B). Major exports include coffee (the world's 10th-largest producer), bananas, sugar, palm oil, cardamom (the world's largest producer), textiles, and ethanol. Remittances from ~3 million Guatemalans in the US account for ~20% of GDP.
About Peruvian Sol (S/)
