    They might be "beautiful"
    But is insane to do such a change in such a short time period. It'll probably be very confusing for those of us used to our normal Bolivares.

  4. 12 1/2 cents? Why? What's so hard about, oh, I don't know, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 1.00?

    12.5 because theres a 25 :|

    So why is there a 10 and not a "6 and 1/4" coin? What costs 12.5c or even better where do all those .5c go? Just a way to excuse a deficit "Wheres all that money gone?" "Oh its ok thats covered by our estimates for the .5c deficit"

    What the heck. Okay, while we are at it why not throw in a 3 1/2 cent coin. We Venezuelans have nothing else better to do. Nice work BRUTO CHAVES.

  8. The 12 1/2 cent coin has a long history in Venezuela. It used to be called the "locha." It was taken out of circulation as the bolivar was devalued and the locha became pretty much worthless. But with the 2008 redenomination, 12 1/2 cents is meaningful again, and the locha was brought back to life. I remember buying delicious "pan de a locha" back in the 1970s.
