On March 21, 2025, the Central Bank of Bolivia (BCB) officially announced the launch of a new version of the Bs1 coin, which incorporates an additional security measure to facilitate identification. This measure is part of the monetary material replacement process and aims to enhance the coin's tactile recognition.
The most notable feature of this new coin is its discontinuous, smooth, ridged edge, an innovation that will make it easier to distinguish by touch, particularly benefiting people with visual impairments and improving security in everyday transactions.
The Central Bank of Bolivia (BCB) also clarified that all previously issued Bs1 coins remain valid and are valid for any transaction within Bolivian territory. This decision guarantees the continuity and stability of the monetary system, avoiding any confusion or abrupt demonetization.
This update responds to the need to modernize the cash flow and the Central Bank of Bolivia's commitment to inclusion and security in the use of cash.
