I wanted to buy a large amount of Venezuelan bank notes as a gag gift for Christmas. 1,000,000 Venezuelan Bolivars is supposed to be less than 1€ but when looking online most sales are 50€+ for that amount.

    I guess the transaction and exchange fees don’t scale with the inflation of the currency. The exchange server may also have a minimum starting fee.

      None of that money is in circulation anymore. It can’t legally be exchanged. They’re not legal tender and are only collector’s items now.
