President Nicolás Maduro announced today that Venezuela will have a new currency called “bolívar soberano” equal to 1,000 bolívares fuertes.

 

The new banknotes to be issued on June 4 will be in the denominations of 2; 5; 10; 20; 50; 100; 200 and 500 bolívares. Although they are called “soberanos” that word is not mentioned on the specimens made public.

 

In practice up to now people omit the word “mil” when they express an amount of money. For instance someone quoting a price says “cien” and not ““cien mil”.
