VEF - Venezuelan Bolivar currency

Venezuela flag Venezuela

The Venezuelan Bolívar (VEF) was Venezuela's official currency until it was replaced by the Bolívar Soberano (VES) in 2018 due to hyperinflation. Introduced in 1879, the Bolívar was named after Simón Bolívar, a prominent leader of Latin America's independence movements. During its usage, the VEF underwent several redenominations to stabilize the economy. While no longer in circulation, the Bolívar's history reflects Venezuela's economic struggles and efforts to combat inflation.
