<p>[QUOTE=&quot;goossen, post: 758607, member: 1545&quot;]The Government put into circulation the new currency of 50 cents with the legend &quot;Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia&quot; instead of &quot;Republica de Bolivia&quot; in an act at the Government Palace. The president of Banco Central de Bolivia (BCB), Gabriel Loza, gave President Evo Morales a set of coins with the new name, and said today they begin to circulate.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;We ordered the minting of new coins in all denominations, 5, 2 and 1 Boliviano, and 50, 20 and 10 cents, and will include the new legend&quot; he said.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, Loza said that &quot;from today and during 2010, all Bolivians will gradually take the coins that express the value of their work and the &quot;Multicountry state&quot; symbol. The current coins in circulation, with the legend of The Republic of Bolivia, are fully valid and will circulate simultaneously with the new ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>The company &quot;Casa de Moneda Chile&quot; (Chile Mint) won the bidding. A total of 366 million pieces were minted in all denominations, with the new legend, at a cost of USD 8.1 million.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><i>(sorry for the bad translation)</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
