History

The Córdoba was introduced on March 20, 1912, originally equal to the US dollar. It was named after the founder of Nicaragua Francisco Hernández de Córdoba.

In 1987, the "new córdoba" (nueva córdoba) was introduced at a rate equal to 1,000 "old" córdobas. In 1991 the córdoba was re-introduced, with one being worth 10 million of the "new córdobas" of the previous decade.
