Peru's Casa Nacional de Moneda has handled domestic banknote production since the early 1980s, gradually displacing the foreign printers — Thomas De La Rue chief among them — that had dominated Peruvian currency production for most of the twentieth century. A print run of just over twelve million places this issue on the modest end for a circulating denomination, though the 10 Nuevos Sol note saw heavy everyday use and attrition rates were correspondingly high.
The "Nuevos Soles" designation itself dates to 1991, when Peru redenominated at one million to one following the hyperinflationary collapse of the Inti.
