Venezuela unveils bolivar fuerte note designs
Oct 24, 2007 03:51 PM
We
now have confirmation that the PDF marked
“Información Confidencial” reported ten days ago is
authentic. Today the Banco Central de Venezuela
has officially unveiled its new family of
notes.
The only thing that remains to be explained is why
there is no 200-bolivar fuerte note as previously
reported.
All notes will be released on January 1, 2008, and are dated 20 DE MARZO DE 2007 on front, along with signatures (PRESIDENTE BCV and PRIMER VICEPRESIDENTE BCV). Security features for each note includes intaglio printing with the denomination in OVI, watermark of portrait and electrotype watermark of denomination numerals, wide windowed security thread, registration device, microprinting, raised symbol for the blind, and latent image. Coat of arms on back.
2 bolivares fuerte. Blue and orange. Francisco de Miranda. Amazon Two river dolphins (inia geoffrensis) in foreground, Parque Nacional Médanos de Coro and Gusano flor in background on back.
5 bolivares fuerte. Light orange and tan. Pedro Camejo. Two giant armadillos (priodontes maximus) in foreground, palm trees in Los Llanos (flat plains) in background on back.
10 bolivares fuerte. Dark orange and brown. Cacique Guaicaipuro. American Harpy eagle (harpia harpyja) in foreground, Salto Ucaima y tepuyes Venado y Kurún (Parque Nacional Canaima) in background on back.
20 bolivares fuerte. Pink and aqua. Luisa Cáceres de Arismendi. Two hawksbill turtles (eretmochelys imbricata) in foreground, Montañas de Macanao in background on back.
50 bolivares fuerte. Green and yellow. Simón Rodrígues. Spectacled bear (tremarctos ornatos) in foreground, Laguna del Santo Cristo (Parque Nacional Sierra Nevada) in background on back.

Venezuela's new bolivar fuerte note designs surface
Oct 14, 2007 10:46 AM
As
previously reported, on February 15, 2007, President
Hugo Chavez announced plans to strip three zeros from
the bolivar, replacing it with the bolivar fuerte
(Bsf) on January 1, 2008. The Central Bank of
Venezuela is also said to be considering a switch to
polymer notes.
Recently a PDF marked “Información Confidencial” surfaced that purports to be from the Banco Central de Venezuela and the Casa de la Moneda. It depicts the new family of notes, but the images in the PDF are clearly mock ups only, not actual printed notes, so details are subject to change. It appears the intended security features for each note includes intaglio printing with the denomination in OVI, watermark of portrait and electrotype watermark of denomination numerals, wide windowed security thread, registration device, microprinting, raised symbol for the blind, and latent image. The arrows on the following images are vestiges of the original PDF call outs and are not part of the actual note designs.
If you can provide confirmation of these designs or better identifications of the animals on the backs, please share this information.
2 bolivares fuerte. Blue and orange. Francisco de Miranda. Two porpoises on back.
5 bolivares fuerte. Light orange and tan. Pedro Camejo. Armadillos on back.
10 bolivares fuerte. Dark orange and brown. Cacique Guaicaipuro. Owl on back.
20 bolivares fuerte. Pink and aqua. Luisa Cáceres de Arismendi. Turtles on back.
50 bolivares fuerte. Green and yellow. Simón Rodrígues. Bear on back.
100 bolivares fuerte. Rust and green. Simón Bolívar. Birds on back.
200 bolivares fuerte. Yellow and brown. Antonio José de Sucre. Jaguar on back.
000 bolivares fuerte (reserved). Orange and red. Rafael María Baralt. Monkey on back.

Paraguay to issue new 50,000-guaranîe note in 2008
Oct 11, 2007 01:06 PM
Perhaps as early as March 2008, the Banco Central Del Paraguay will replace the current 50,000-guaraníe note (US$10) shown above with a new design featuring a portrait of guitarist and composer Agustín Pío Barrios (also known as Agustín Barrios Mangoré). The note will be designed with a new predominant color of purple to distinguish it from the current notes of the same denomination (see above).

Paraguay cancels new G50,000 notes due to theft
Oct 23, 2006 10:41 AM
The Central Bank of Paraguay reported that six boxes containing 250,000 new 50,000-guaranies notes were stolen during shipment by sea between France (where they were printed by François-Charles Oberthur) and Uruguay. The notes carry a “C” serial number prefix, have “50 MIL” in the upper left-hand corner, feature an intaglio-printed star below the watermark area, and are dated 2005 between the signatures or Ramon Arréllaga, Gerente General and Monica Perez, Presidenta. They were intended to enter circulation in early December 2006, but in response to the theft the Central Bank has canceled the emission of the “C” series in this denomination. The total value of the theft exceeds US$2.3 million.
Some of these notes entered circulation before the theft was made public and are beginning to surface in the collectors’ market at prices up to US$200.
