About Bolivian Boliviano (Bs.)

The Bolivian Boliviano (BOB, ISO 4217 code 068, symbol Bs.) is the official currency of the Plurinational State of Bolivia, issued by the Central Bank of Bolivia (BCB, est. 1928). Subdivided into 100 centavos. Banknotes: Bs.10, Bs.20, Bs.50, Bs.100, Bs.200 (the highest denomination; current 'Familia de Billetes' series introduced 2018 features Bolivian historical figures and natural landmarks โ€” Genoveva Rรญos, Eduardo Avaroa, Adela Zamudio, Bartolina Sisa, Tรบpac Katari, Salar de Uyuni โ€” the world's largest salt flat, the Madidi National Park, Lake Titicaca, the Royal Cordillera mountains); coins: 10 centavos, 20 centavos, 50 centavos, Bs.1, Bs.2, Bs.5. Bolivia replaced the previous boliviano (BOB ISO code 068) on January 1, 1987 at a rate of 1 new boliviano = 1,000,000 old pesos bolivianos (BOP) โ€” ending a hyperinflation crisis that had reached 24,000% in 1985 (the worst non-wartime hyperinflation outside of Zimbabwe and Weimar Germany). Bolivia is home to the world's largest lithium reserves (~21 million tonnes per USGS, in the Salar de Uyuni and Salar de Coipasa), though commercial extraction remains limited. The BCB targets stable exchange rates (informally pegged to USD around Bs.6.91 per USD).

The Real Plan ('Plano Real') of July 1, 1994 โ€” designed by Finance Minister Fernando Henrique Cardoso under President Itamar Franco โ€” replaced the cruzeiro real in a major monetary reform that ended Brazil's 1980s-90s hyperinflation (peak ~5,000% annual inflation in 1990).
