Comments

Venezuela's hyperinflationary spiral was accelerating sharply by 2018 — the official inflation rate that year exceeded one million percent. The 100 Bolívar note, once a meaningful denomination, had become essentially worthless in daily transactions before it even finished printing. That print run of just over twelve million was modest by Venezuelan standards of the period, reflecting how quickly the government was being forced to issue successor series at higher denominations.

Later that same year, the Bolívar Soberano was introduced, redenominating at 100,000 old bolívares to one new unit — rendering this note a rounding error.
