The Boliviano is the currency of Bolivia. It is divided into 100 centavos. Boliviano was also the name of the currency of Bolivia between 1864 and 1963.

Bolivia officially known as Plurinational State of Bolivia , is a landlocked   country in central South America. It is bordered by Brazil to the north   and east, Paraguay and Argentina to the south, Chile to the southwest,   and Peru to the west.

Prior to European colonization, the Andean region of   Bolivia was a part of the Inca Empire –  the largest state in   Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the   16th century. During most of the Spanish colonial period, this territory   was called Upper Peru and was under the administration of the   Viceroyalty of Peru, which included most of Spain's South American   colonies. After declaring independence in 1809, 16 years of war followed   before the establishment of the Republic, named for Simón Bolívar, on 6   August 1825. Bolivia has struggled through periods of political   instability, dictatorships and economic woes.

Bolivia is a democratic republic that is divided into   nine departments. Its geography is varied from the peaks of the Andes   in the West, to the Eastern Lowlands, situated within the Amazon Basin.   It is a developing country, with a Medium Human Development Index score,   and a poverty level of 53%. Its main economic activities include   agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, and manufacturing goods such as   textiles, clothing, refined metals, and refined petroleum. Bolivia is   very wealthy in minerals, especially tin.

The Bolivian population, estimated at 10 million, is   multiethnic, including Amerindians, Mestizos, Europeans, and Africans.   The main language spoken is Spanish, although the Aymara and Quechua   languages are also common and all three, as well as 34 other indigenous   languages,   are official. The large number of different cultures within   Bolivia has   contributed greatly to a wide diversity in fields such as   art, cuisine,   literature, and music.
