Nicaragua's córdoba has been redenominated twice since 1988 — first by a factor of 1,000, then by 100,000 — leaving the country with a currency whose face values bear no resemblance to historical series. The post-2000 notes were introduced into a banking system still rebuilding credibility after the cordobas oro transition of the early 1990s, when hyperinflation had effectively destroyed public trust in domestic paper.
Pick 194 runs across a five-year window, suggesting steady reorder printings rather than a single production run — worth checking date panels when cataloging individual examples.
