"Diez Mil Intis" is Spanish for Ten Thousand Intis. The Inti was the currency of Peru between 1985 and 1991. It replaced the "sol" at a rate of 1,000 sol = 1 inti. It in turn was replaced by the nuevo sol ("new sol") at a rate of 1,000,000 intis = 1 nuevo sol. The 10,000 intis bill was produced in 1988 and has a portrait of the Peruvian poet César Vallejo on the front. It is no longer exchangable into dollars (or even into nuevo sol), but the theoretical face value (based on the exchange rate of the nuevo sol as of April 2009) is about a third of a US cent. Its value to a collector would depend on its condition.
