Currency Today : Venezuela 09

The second series of the Boliváres Fuertes notes, was concluded in December 2017, with a 100 mil (100,000) note.
The note has the same design as the highest note of the first set of notes (2007-2013), but now in new colours.

100 boliváres (2007)

Although the previous set was taken out of circulation already, you would have needed 1000 of the 100-note, to reach the same amount as this note.

The 100mil boliváres fuertes note, only has 13 December 2017 on the note itself, but there are (at least) 3 different types.
