Change retention in
Venezuela is twice as bad as in the states because the
currency uses such high numbers* and change is often issued
in sale transactions. One problem is that the 50 B and 100 B
are just about the same size..... big! Occasionally a 10 or
a 20 will slip in there too. Sales clerks are always asking
for coins but I often don't carry any because I don't like
such bulky pockets. I dump change in a basket when I get
home. Not sure what I'm going to do with so many coins.
*The current
official exchange rate is now 1900 Bolivars to the dollar.
**There are TWO hidden photos in my change. |
