Converting from Bolivian Boliviano (BOB) to Cape Verde Escudo (CVE)

What is Bolivian Boliviano (BOB)

The Bolivian Boliviano, abbreviated as BOB, is the official currency of Bolivia, a country located in the heart of South America. The name "Boliviano" pays homage to Simón Bolívar, a key figure in Latin America's fight for independence. Introduced in 1987, the Boliviano replaced the previous currency, the Bolivian peso.

The BOB is subdivided into 100 centavos, though centavos are not commonly used in everyday transactions. As of recent years, the currency has featured various denominations, including coins of 10, 20, and 50 centavos, as well as 1, 2, 5, and 20 Bolivianos. Banknotes are available in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 Bolivianos.

In Bolivia, the Boliviano is used for all transactions, both in urban and rural areas. It is critical for local commerce, and the exchange rate fluctuates against major currencies like the US dollar and the euro. While the Boliviano is not widely used outside Bolivia, understanding its value is essential for anyone traveling to or doing business in the country.

What is Cape Verde Escudo (CVE)

The Cape Verde Escudo, abbreviated as CVE, is the official currency of Cape Verde, an island nation located off the northwest coast of Africa. The currency was introduced in 1977, replacing the original Cape Verdean escudo, which was linked to the Portuguese escudo.

One escudo is divided into 100 centavos, although, similar to the Boliviano, centavos are infrequently used in everyday transactions. The CVE coins come in various denominations, including 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 centavos, as well as 1, 2, 5, and 10 escudos. The banknotes are issued in denominations of 200, 500, 1000, and 2000 escudos.

The CVE is the primary medium of exchange in Cape Verde, supporting both local and tourist transactions. The values of the escudo may vary against the euro, which is a significant secondary currency due to the country's economic ties with Europe. It's important for visitors or businesspeople to understand the exchange rates between the escudo and their home currencies when planning a trip to Cape Verde.
