Description
The boliviano is the official currency of Bolivia, introduced in 1987 to replace the peso boliviano after a period of hyperinflation. It is divided into 100 centavos, although centavo coins are now rarely circulated. The currency is issued by the Central Bank of Bolivia and is commonly denoted by the symbol Bs.
Banknotes showcase national heroes, indigenous motifs, and the Andean condor, while the coin series includes a quirky 10‑centavo piece featuring a llama. Bolivia is a multilingual nation with Spanish, Quechua, Aymara and Guarani recognized as official languages.
