Historical banknotes and relevant facts
The first Venezuelan banknotes were issued in 1811 by the Banco de Venezuela. Over the years, the country has experienced several monetary reconversions, the most recent being in 2008, 2018 and 2021. An important milestone in Venezuelan notafilia was the introduction of the bolivar fuerte in 2008, which eliminated three zeros from the previous denomination. Old banknotes, such as the 100 bolivar with the effigy of Simón Bolívar, are now highly prized collector's items by numismatists.
