Venezuela's chronic hyperinflation of 2018 prompted several regional governments to issue their own emergency scrip — a legally dubious workaround given that Venezuela's constitution reserves monetary authority exclusively to the Banco Central. Cojedes, a sparsely populated llanos state, channeled this through Alimentos Cojedes, its state food distribution entity, tying the scrip's validity directly to the CLAP food subsidy program rather than to general commerce. This was not a currency in any orthodox sense; it was a rationing token dressed as a banknote.
The "Zamoranos" name references Ezequiel Zamora, the 19th-century agrarian revolutionary whose image the Chávez and Maduro governments systematically deployed as ideological branding across state institutions.
