Bolivia's hyperinflation of the mid-1980s was among the worst the Western Hemisphere had ever recorded. By 1985, annual inflation had exceeded 20,000 percent, and the Banco Central was issuing denominations that would have been inconceivable five years earlier. This 10,000,000 Peso Boliviano note is a direct artifact of that collapse — not a rarity, but a historical data point printed in bulk by Casa da Moeda do Brasil as local facilities could not keep pace with demand.
The entire Peso Boliviano currency was abolished in late 1985 and replaced by the new Boliviano at a conversion rate of 1,000,000 to 1.
