Cape Verde is a former Portuguese colony and the Cape Verde escudo replaced the former national currency, the Cape Verde real, which was equivalent to the Portuguese real. Portugal has since become a member of the European Union and adopted the euro as its currency. Today the Cape Verde escudo is pegged to the euro.
