This post about the shortage of small change in Venezuela reminded me to update these charts, which I’ve never posted here.
Venezuela currency in circulation by value
That’s Venezuelan cash in “circulation.” I put the sarcastiquotes on there for the following reason:
Venezuela cash by number of coins or bills
Those coins, all that stuff at the bottom of the chart? Where oh where could they be? Note the huge number of 5-cent coins; also note that they are the color of copper. I think we can guess the rest of that story.
Setty's notebook 
Really cool charts. Kudos. Where do you get the data? Indeed, where the hell are all those coins?
A small suggestion would be to increase the resolution of the plots.
Sorry I didn’t give links to all the original data. I’ll make a new post with footnotes….soon…after I finish this here paid work!
