PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

There are 9 banking corporations doing business in the Philippines, not including express companies and savings banks which are also available. Of these, five are domestic, namely, The Philippine National Bank, The Bank of the Philippine Islands, The China Bank, the Philippine Trust, and Mercantile Bank of China.

The coins used in the Philippine Islands are of the following denominations:-Peso, one-half peso (50 centavos), peseta (20 centavos), media peseta (10 centavos), five centavos, and one centavo. The paper money is issued in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500 peso denominations. The Philippine peso is equivalent to fifty cents in United States currency. The Philippine Commission maintained this parity by passing the Gold Standard Act on October 10th, 1903. The new peso now coined contains 20 grammes of silver, 800 fine; the 50 centavo piece contains 10 grammes of silver, 750 fine; 20-centavo piece, four grammes of silver, 750 fine; and the 10-centavo piece, two grammes of silver 750 fine.
