The <strong>bolívar</strong> (<a href="/term/ISO_4217">ISO currency code</a>: VEB; locally abbreviated as <em>Bs.</em>) is the currency of <a href="/term/Venezuela">Venezuela</a>. It is nominally subdivided into 100 <a href="/term/Céntimo">céntimo</a>s, although coins denominated in céntimos no longer circulate.<p>

The bolívar was introduced in <a href="/term/1879">1879</a>, replacing the short-lived <a href="/term/Venezuelan_venezolano">venezolano</a> at a rate of 1 venezolano = 5 bolívares. Until the <a href="/term/1970s">1970s</a>, the bolívar was the region's most stable and internationally accepted currency. Subsequently, it has fallen victim to high inflation.<p>

<a name="Coins" id="Coins"></a><h2>Coins</h2>
The coins in current circulation are:
<ul><li>10 bolívares</li><li>20 bolívares</li><li>50 bolívares</li><li>100 bolívares</li><li>500 bolívares</li></ul>
All the coins have the same design. On the obverse it is depicted the left profile of the <em>Libertador</em> <a href="/term/Simón_Bolívar">Simón Bolívar</a>, together with the inscription "<em>Bolívar Libertador</em>", within a <a href="/term/Heptagon">heptagon</a>, symbolizing the seven stars of <a href="/term/Flag_of_Venezuela">the flag</a>. At the reverse it is depicted <a href="/term/Coat_of_Arms_of_Venezuela">the coat of arms</a>, circled by the official name of the country, the emission year and the denomination below. Since <a href="/term/2001">2001</a> the reverse design was changed, putting the denomination of the coin at the right of the shield of the coat of arms, semicircled by the official name of the country and the year of its emision below.<p>
