peseta
Pre-euro Spanish currency
A peseta was the basic unit of currency in Spain from 1868 until 2002, when it was replaced by the euro.
The word sometimes appears in historical contexts or nostalgic references to pre-euro Spain: Prices were listed in pesetas.
Informally, pesetas could mean money generally, like "bucks" in American English.
