Hmm. Now that I think of it, I do use "pesos". I prefer to use "mark"
instead of "marks" but I wouldn't find it too strange if someone said it.
Just seems awkward to me. Maybe the difference is that here in S.
California, people quite frequently talk about pesos, but it is uncommon
to hear about anything else.
