Английская Википедия:Bolivian boliviano
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Redirect Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox currency The boliviano (Шаблон:IPA-es; sign: Bs[1][2] ISO 4217 code: BOB) is the currency of Bolivia. It is divided into 100 cents or centavos in Spanish. Boliviano was also the name of the currency of Bolivia between 1864 and 1963. From April 2018, the manager of the Central Bank of Bolivia, Pablo Ramos, announced the introduction of the new family of banknotes of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, started with the 10 Bs note, and then gradually arrived to introduce the 200 Bs note, presented in April 2019.[3] The new family of banknotes of the Plurinational State received several awards such as "the best banknotes in Latin America", was highlighted by its security measures, its aesthetics and its inclusion of prominent figures in Bolivian history, being among those who awarded the "Latin American High Security Printing Press Conference".[4]
History
Currencies in use before the current second boliviano include:
- The Spanish real from the 16th to 19th centuries, with 8 reales equal to 1 peso and 16 reales equal to 1 escudo.
- The Bolivian sol from 1827 to 1864, replacing the Spanish real at par. 16 soles were equal to 1 Bolivian escudo, and 8 soles were equal to 1 boliviano.
- The first boliviano from 1864 to 1963, worth eight soles and divided into 100 centécimos (later centavos). The name bolivar was used for an amount of ten bolivianos.
- The peso boliviano (code Шаблон:ISO 4217), from 1963 to 1986, worth 1,000 first bolivianos.
The second boliviano was introduced in 1987 at a rate of 1 boliviano = 1,000,000 pesos bolivianos.
Second boliviano
Following many years of rampant inflation, the bolivian peso was replaced in 1987 by a new boliviano at a rate of one million to one (when 1 US dollar was worth 1.8/1.9 million pesos). At that time, 1 new boliviano was roughly equivalent to Шаблон:Frac U.S. dollar.
Coins
In 1988, stainless-steel 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 centavos and 1 boliviano (dated 1987) coins were introduced, followed by stainless-steel 2 bolivianos in 1991. Copper-plated steel 10 centavos were introduced in 1997 and bi-metallic 5 bolivianos in 2001. The 2 and 5 centavo coins are no longer in circulation. The 2 boliviano coin has been minted in two sizes, both of which remain legal tender. The smaller 2 boliviano coin is almost the same as the 1 boliviano coin, leading to potential confusion, although the 2 boliviano coins are undecagonal whilst the 1 boliviano coins are round. All the coins in Bolivia have the value with the inscription "La union es la Fuerza" ("Union is strength" in Spanish) on the obverse. Older coins feature and the coat of arms of Bolivia with the inscription "Republica de Bolivia" (Republic of Bolivia) on the reverse, while newer ones feature the coat of arms with the inscription "Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia" (Plurinational state of Bolivia).

Banknotes

Regular issues followed the same year in denominations of 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 bolivianos.

Manufacture and production
As of 2013 the Boliviano is still manufactured abroad, in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, and Chile, even though Bolivia has been politically independent since 1825.Шаблон:Citation needed
Though Bolivia was one of the main mints of the colonial era (casa de la moneda, Potosí) the coining and printing of currency stopped due to lack of political interest and on the idea that foreign made coins and banknotes could be acquired at a lower price than the Bolivian-made coins and banknotes.
MVDOL (ISO 4217 code Шаблон:ISO 4217) is a unit of currency (account). It has a value, inflation-adjusted between the Bolivian boliviano and the US dollar. It is used in financial instruments due to its stable value.
The name wikt:MVDOL is derived from Шаблон:Lang ([Bolivian] national currency with value maintained to the US dollar).
