It works out at about 170 pesetas to 1 US dollar. However, Pesetas were withdrawn from circulation when Spain switched to euros in 2002. If your coins are relatively recent there's a small chance you may be able to find a large bank that might redeem them. Look at a site such as www.xe.com for exchange rates on obsolete currencies. If the coins are older there may be some that are of interest to collectors. You can determine the value of your pesetas (as the value of the US dollar vs the euro changes daily) and convert them through The Currency Commission. They also exchange most other pre-euro banknotes. http://www.TheCurrencyCommission.com
