Bolivian boliviano to Japanese Yen

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 Japanese yen (international symbol: ¥, code: JPY, number 392) is the national currency of Japan and is in issuance continuously since 1871. The yen is on the list of world reserve currencies and used in the IMF system. Yen derives from the Japanese word “en”, meaning "round" it is also close to the Chinese "yuan".

One yen is subdivided into 100 “sen”. However, coins in denominations of less than one yen became invalid in the middle of the 20th century. Today “sen” can only be used in the format of mathematical calculations. The banknotes depict the intellectual elite of Japan, and not political figures.
