Venezuela's 100,000 bolívar note was introduced in March 2017 as the country's highest denomination to that point — a figure that would have been unthinkable a decade earlier. By the time it entered circulation, hyperinflation was accelerating so violently that the note's purchasing power eroded within weeks of issue. The Casa de la Moneda de Venezuela, the state printing facility in Maracay, produced the entire run domestically, a point of political pride for the Maduro government despite severe shortages of imported cotton paper and ink that repeatedly disrupted production schedules.
Within eighteen months, this denomination was rendered functionally worthless by the August 2018 monetary redenomination, which lopped five zeros off the currency.
