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.

    Ok, that sounds extremely stupid in some ways. I kinda get why they would implement restrictions as a control measure to temporarily limit inflation, but other than some edge cases, it seems pointless at the stage they are at now.

    If someone can’t exchange money for anything other than goods and services in that country, the currency IS actually useless for anyone else.
