20 000 Bolívares

Venezuela's Casa de la Moneda in Maracay has produced domestic currency since the late 1980s, a shift away from the foreign contract printers — primarily De La Rue and the American Bank Note Company — that had supplied Venezuelan notes for most of the twentieth century. The 20,000 bolívar denomination itself is a marker of how severely inflation had eroded purchasing power by the early 2000s; a note of this face value would have been unthinkable two decades earlier.

The Pick 86 series ran through 2006, shortly before the 2008 redenomination introduced the bolívar fuerte at a ratio of 1,000 to one — rendering these notes obsolete almost immediately.
