Yep. Coins aren't so nice. I do like the 12.5c denominated coin,
though. Anyone know why it's being introduced?

The designs are very plain for the coins, that is a trend lately. Almost
like they are temporary, perhaps they know that inflation will render them
valueless before long.

Currency reform lops 3 zeros off all denominations. 1 strong bolivar
in exchange for 1,000 old bolivares.

Hunh? Perhaps I'm missing something, but in what way does your
response answer my question?

Your question why they bother with 12.5 cent coins? MyI guess is they
need to convert old lower denominations, like 1, 5, 10 and 50 old
bolivars. 10 old bolivars would be worth 1 new cent, while 125
bolivars would be worth 12.5 cents.

According to the NY Times article (below) it is "a symbol of Venezuela's
prosperity in the 1960s and 1970s". :-) The photo on the first page of
the article shows an older 12.5 c piece ...

But with the way things are going there, will there be anything available for
Venezuelans to BUY with them?

OK. And 143 old bolivars would be equal to 14.3 new cents. Why not a
14.3c coin?
