Bolivian boliviano to Cape Verdean Escudo

The boliviano (sign Bs, code BOB) is the national currency of the country located is South America – Bolivia. Small coins called centavo are used as change for the Bolivian boliviano. One boliviano has 100 centavos.

The currency has first been issued in the 18th century, and was used between 1864 and 1963. Later, the country used peso, but due to inflation in 1987, the government came back to BOB once again. The rate of the modern boliviano is connected to the American dollar. After the 80s hyperinflation, the population was still using the old notes as change. There have been special seals put on them to reduce denomination.

The Cape Verdean escudo (sign Esc, code CVE) is the official currency issued and spread on the territory of Cape Verde. Previously, one escudo could be subdivided into 100 centavos. Since 1994, 1 escudo has become the smallest coin of the country.

CVE was established as a national currency in 1914. Afterwards, the banknotes have been re-issued several times. The latest series was issued in 2014. The 100 escudo coin is of great interest. It is a decagon made out of a metallic alloy, embellished with representatives of local flora and fauna.
