Bolivia's 1986 currency reform replaced the collapsed peso boliviano at a rate of one million to one — the boliviano had been destroyed by hyperinflation that peaked at over 20,000 percent annually in 1985. The 200-boliviano denomination sat near the top of the new series, though within a few years inflation had again eroded purchasing power enough to make it a relatively modest note in daily use.
Printed by the Canadian Bank Note Company in Ottawa, which handled much of the new series production. CBNC's security thread integration on this issue is relatively basic by later standards.
