Question
I have 2 uncirculated paper currencies, 5000 Banco Central De Bolivia, dated February 1984, serial
numbers A 17717403 and A 19107335.  They are in mint condition. I was curious as to the current value and/or exchange rate of these items.  Thanks for your response.


Answer
Hi Bonny, these may be worth about $2 each if uncirculated (no wear) depending on amount of collector demand. In 1987 a monetary reform made 1,000,000 Peso Bolivianos equal to 1 Boliviano so your notes have only their collector value.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
