Intis Explanation: I am just giving a semi-intelligent guess at this. The inti was the currency of Peru between 1985 and 1991. Its ISO 4217 code was PEI and its abbreviation in local use was "I/.". Although they soon became worthless, the inti was divided into 100 céntimos. The inti was named after Inti, the Inca sun god, to maintain the solar connection in the naming of Peru's currency (although, sol in the currency sense was actually ultimately derived from the Latin Solidus). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2008-11-13 07:25:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, I didn't read the rest of your question. Now I am almost sure it means "Intis" |
