About

The bolivar was adopted as Venezuela’s national currency in 1879, when it replaced the venezolano. In 1983 it became unstable because of a high devaluation, and in 2008 it was renamed the bolivar fuerte and revalued at a ratio of 1 to 1,000. Today the bolivar fuerte is available in denominations of 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000 and 100,000. Each bolivar fuerte is subdivided into 100 centimos.

† Date available will be displayed on receipt for international transfers over $15. Service and funds availability depends on certain factors including the Service selected, the selection of delayed delivery options, special terms applicable to each Service, amount sent, destination country, currency availability, regulatory issues, consumer protection issues, identification requirements, delivery restrictions, agent location hours, and differences in time zones (collectively, “Restrictions”).
