The Cyprus Pound (Λίρα, pl. Λίρες) is the currency used in Cyprus. It is currently subdivided into 100 cents (Σεντ), and was previously divided into 1000 mils until 1983 (mil-denominated coins are no longer legal tender). It will be replaced by the euro in the near future, which the Cypriot authorities hope to be as early as 2007. The currency entered the Exchange Rate Mechanism II on May 2, 2005.
1 Cyprus Pound is worth €1.72835 or US$ 2.27635. It is pegged to the euro at CYP 0.585274 ±15% per euro.
