What is another word for El Salvadoran Monetary unit?
Pronunciation: [ˌɛl sˈalvɐdˌɔːɹən mˈʌnɪtəɹi jˈuːnɪt] (IPA) 
El Salvadoran monetary unit is the official currency of El Salvador. It is also known as the Salvadoran colon, which was in circulation until 2001 when it was replaced by the US dollar. The USD is now the official currency of El Salvador, but some locals still refer to it as "los verdes" or "the greens" because of the green color of the dollar bills. Another synonym for the currency is "peso," which was once used in El Salvador before the colon was introduced. However, today, when someone talks about the peso, they are usually referring to the Mexican peso, which is a different currency.
