The current currency since 2002 is the Euro.

From 1869 to 2002 it was the Peseta.

From 1864 to 1869 it was the Silver escudo

Prior to that several different currencies were in use including the Gold escudo, the Spanish Real, the famous "piece of eight" (peso de a ocho - also known as the Spanish Dollar), the Maravedí, and the Spanish dinero.
