Введение
Колумбийское песо (знак: $; код: COP) — валюта Колумбии. Код ISO 4217 — COP. Официальный символ песо — $, при этом Col$. также используется для его отличия от других валют, номинированных в песо и долларах. Один песо делится на сто сентаво; однако из-за высокой инфляции в 1970-х и 1980-х годах Колумбия прекратила чеканку монет сентаво для обращения в 1984 году. Принято указывать денежные суммы в сентаво, хотя это редко встречается в повседневной жизни и в общем контексте. Монеты номиналом 50 песо по-прежнему являются законным платежным средством, но из-за их низкой стоимости и ограниченного обращения большинство наличных расчетов округляются до ближайших 100 песо, в то время как электронные транзакции обычно завершаются до сентаво, несмотря на то, что сентаво практически не обладают покупательной способностью.
Currency of Colombia
The Colombian peso (sign: $; code: COP) is the currency of Colombia. Its ISO 4217 code is COP. The official peso symbol is $, with Col$. also being used to distinguish it from other peso and dollar denominated currencies. One peso is divided one hundred centavos; however, because of high inflation in the 1970s and 1980s, Colombia ceased issuing centavo coins for circulation in 1984. It remains customary to write monetary amounts with centavos, although it is rare in daily lives and general contexts. The 50 peso coins are still legal tender, but due to its low value and circulation, most cash transactions are rounded to the nearest 100 pesos, while electronic transactions are usually completed to the centavo, even though centavos have practically no purchasing power.

История
Колумбия использовала испанский колониальный реал до 1820 года, после обретения независимости от Испании. Он был заменен на колумбийский реал. В 1837 году колумбийский реал был заменен текущим песо по курсу 1 песо = 8 реалов и первоначально подразделялся на 8 реалов. В 1847 году Колумбия перешла на десятичную систему, и песо был разделен на десять реалов, каждый из которых состоял из 10 десимо де реала, позднее – сентаво. Реал был переименован в десимо в 1853 году, хотя последние реалы были отчеканены в 1880 году. Текущая система 100 сентаво к песо впервые использовалась в 1819 году на ранних банкнотах, но вновь появилась лишь в начале 1860-х годов на банкнотах и не применялась к монетам до 1872 года. В 1871 году Колумбия приняла золотой стандарт, привязав песо к французскому франку по курсу 1 песо = 5 франков. Эта привязка просуществовала лишь до 1886 года. С 1888 года инфляция, вызванная печатью денег, привела к обесцениванию колумбийских бумажных денег (привязанных к фунту стерлингов по курсу четыре шиллинга за один песо, или 5 песо = 1 фунт), а обменный курс между монетами и бумажными деньгами был установлен в соотношении 100 песо moneda corriente = 1 монетный песо. В период с 1907 по 1914 год выпускались монеты, номинированные в "песо p/m", эквивалентные бумажным песо. В 1910 году Конверсионный совет начал выпускать банкноты в виде песо-оро. В 1931 году Великобритания отказалась от золотого стандарта, и песо перешел на привязку к доллару США по курсу 1,05 песо = 1 доллар, что стало незначительной девальвацией по сравнению с предыдущей привязкой, действовавшей до 1949 года. Тем не менее, банкноты песо продолжали выпускаться с обозначением "песо-оро" до 1993 года. В 2018 году Конгресс Колумбии обсуждал вопрос о переоценке песо по курсу 1000 песо = 1 новый песо, удалив три нуля от его номинальной стоимости, чтобы упростить бухгалтерские и банковские операции. В 2016 году была выпущена новая серия банкнот, в которой последние три нуля номинала были заменены словом "mil" (тысяча), что позволило печатать те же банкноты со словом "mil", замененным на слово "nuevos" (новый). Предложение было поддержано тогдашним президентом Хуаном Мануэлем Сантосом, но столкнулось с оппозицией из-за высокой стоимости и минимальной выгоды, а также из-за возможной путаницы в преимущественно наличной экономике, существующих контрактов и риска будущей инфляции, которая могла бы обесценить изменения, хотя снижение инфляции и не являлось ожидаемым результатом переоценки. Президент Иван Дуке не поддержал эти изменения, и в настоящее время правительство не рассматривает это предложение.
Colombia used Spanish colonial real until 1820 after independence from Spain was achieved. It was replaced by the Colombian real. In 1837, the Colombian real was replaced by the current peso at a rate of 1 peso = 8 reales and was initially subdivided into 8 reales. In 1847, Colombia decimalized the currency and the peso was subdivided into ten reales, each of 10 décimos de reales, later centavos. The real was renamed the décimo in 1853, although the last reales were struck in 1880. The current system of 100 centavos to the peso was first used in 1819 on early banknotes but did not reappear until the early 1860s on banknotes and was not used on the coinage until 1872. In 1871, Colombia adopted the gold standard, pegging the peso to the French franc at a rate of 1 peso = 5 francs. This peg only lasted until 1886. From 1888, printing press inflation caused Colombia's paper money (pegged to sterling at a rate of four shillings to one peso, or 5 pesos = 1 pound) to depreciate and the exchange rate between coins and paper money was fixed at 100 peso moneda corriente = 1 coinage peso. Between 1907 and 1914, coins were issued denominated in "peso p/m", equal to paper pesos. In 1910, the Conversion Board began issuing banknotes in the form of peso oro. In 1931, the United Kingdom left the gold standard and the peso shifted its peg to the United States dollar, at a rate of 1.05 pesos = 1 dollar, a slight devaluation from its previous peg, this until 1949. Nevertheless, Peso banknotes continued to be issued expressed as peso oro until 1993. In 2018, the Congress of Colombia debated whether to redenominate the peso at a rate of 1,000 pesos = 1 new peso, removing three zeroes from its face value, in order to make accounting and banking operations easier. A new series of banknotes was introduced in 2016 with the last three zeroes of the denomination replaced by the word "mil" (thousand), this would enable the printing of the same banknotes with the word "mil" replaced by the word "nuevos" (new). The proposal was supported by then President Juan Manuel Santos, but faced opposition due to the high cost it would have and the minimal benefits it would bring, also confusion in a mostly cash based economy, contracts made, and the possibility of future inflation rending the changes meaningless, though reduction of inflation was not one of the expected outcomes of the redenomination. President Iván Duque did not support the change, and the proposal is currently not considered by the Government.
Монеты
В период с 1837 по 1839 год были введены серебряные монеты номиналом 1, 2, 8 и золотые монеты номиналом 1, 2 и 16 песо. В основном это были продолжения монет, выпущенных до 1837 года от имени Республики Колумбия, но с деноминациями эскудо, замененными на песо. В 1847 году валюта была децимализирована и введены монеты номиналом 1 децимо де реала из меди и 1, 2, 8 и 10 реалов из серебра. Монеты номиналом 1 и 2 реала последовали в 1849 и 1850 годах. В 1853 году были введены серебряные монеты номиналом 1/2 и 1 децимо, а также золотые монеты номиналом 10 песо, за которыми последовали 2 децимо в 1854 году и 1 песо в 1855 году, обе из серебра. В 1856 году были добавлены золотые монеты номиналом 5 песо. Между 1859 и 1862 годами Конфедерация Гренадин выпускала серебряные монеты номиналом 1, 2 и 1 реала, 1/2 и 1 децимо, и 1 песо, а также золотые монеты номиналом 1, 2, 5, 10 и 20 песо. Соединенные Штаты Новой Гренады выпустили серебряные монеты номиналом 1/2 децимо и 1 песо в 1861 году. Начиная с 1862 года, монеты выпускались Соединенными Штатами Колумбии. Серебряные монеты чеканились номиналом 1/2, 1, 2, 5 и 10 децимов, и 1 песо, а также золотые монеты номиналом 1, 2, 5, 10 и 20 песо. С введением сентаво в 1872 году были выпущены серебряные монеты номиналом 2 1/2, 5, 10, 20 и 50 сентаво, за которыми последовали монеты из купроникеля номиналом 1 1/4 сентаво в 1874 году и 2 1/2 сентаво в 1881 году. В 1886 году название страны было изменено на Республику Колумбия. Первые выпуски были из купроникеля номиналом 5 сентаво. За исключением серебряных 50 сентаво (также называемых 5 децимо), выпущенных в период с 1887 по 1889 год, другие номиналы не выпускались до 1897 года, когда были введены серебряные монеты номиналом 10 и 20 сентаво. Серебряные монеты номиналом 5 сентаво были выпущены в 1902 году.
Between 1837 and 1839, silver , , 1, 2, and 8 real coins were introduced, along with gold 1, 2, and 16 pesos. These were mostly continuations of coins issued before 1837 in the name of the Republic of Colombia but with the escudo denominations replaced by pesos. In 1847, the currency was decimalized and coins were introduced in denominations of and 1 décimo de real in copper and 1, 2, 8, and 10 reales in silver. and real coins followed in 1849 and 1850. In 1853, silver and 1 décimo, and gold 10 peso coins were introduced, followed by 2 décimos in 1854 and 1 peso in 1855, both in silver. In 1856, gold 5 peso coins were added. Between 1859 and 1862, coins were issued by the Grenadine Confederation in silver for , and 2 reales, , and 1 décimo, and 1 peso, and in gold for 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 pesos. The United States of New Grenada issued silver 1 décimo and 1 peso in 1861. Beginning in 1862, coins were issued by the United States of Colombia. Silver coins were struck in denominations of , , 1, 2, and 5 décimos, and 1 peso, together with gold 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 pesos. With the introduction of the centavo in 1872, silver 2 1/2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 centavos were issued, followed by cupro nickel 1 1/4 centavos in 1874 and cupro nickel 2 1/2 centavos in 1881. In 1886, the country's name reverted to the Republic of Colombia. The first issues were cupro nickel 5 centavos. Except for silver 50 centavos (also denominated 5 décimos) issued between 1887 and 1889, no other denominations were issued until 1897, when silver 10 and 20 centavos were introduced. Silver 5 centavos were issued in 1902
In 1907, following the stabilization of the paper money, cupro nickel 1, 2, and 5 pesos p/m were introduced and issued until 1916. In 1913, after the pegging of the peso to sterling, gold 2 1/2 and 5 peso coins were introduced which were of the same weight and composition as the half sovereign and sovereign. Gold 10 pesos were also issued in 1919 and 1924, with the 2 1/2 and 5 pesos issued until 1929 and 1930, respectively. In 1918, the 1, 2, and 5 pesos p/m coins were replaced by 1, 2, and 5 centavo coins of the same size and composition. In 1942, bronze 1 and 5 centavo coins were introduced, followed by bronze 2 centavos in 1948. Between 1952 and 1958, cupro nickel replaced silver in the 10, 20 and 50 centavos. In 1967, copper clad steel 1 and 5 centavos were introduced, together with nickel clad steel 10, 20 and 50 centavos and cupro nickel 1 peso coins, the 2 centavos having ceased production in 1960. In 1977, bronze 2 pesos were introduced. In 1984, production of all coins below 1 peso ended. Higher denominations were introduced in the following years of high inflation. 5 peso coins were introduced in 1980, followed by 10 pesos in 1981, 20 pesos in 1982, 50 pesos in 1986, 100 pesos in 1992, 200 pesos in 1994, 500 pesos in 1993 and 1000 pesos in 1996. However, due to massive counterfeiting problems, the 1000 pesos was withdrawn by stages. By 2002, the coin was out of circulation. In February 2009, the central bank stopped the minting of 5, 10, 20 peso coins. They were still legal tender, but due to their low value and circulation, most cash transactions were rounded to the nearest 100 pesos. In 2012, the Bank of the Republic of Colombia issued a new series of coins with the 500 and 1000 peso coins now struck as Bi metallic coins. 2012 Coin Series Image Value Technical parameters Description Obverse Reverse Diameter Thickness Mass Composition Edge Obverse Reverse 50 pesos 17 mm 1.3 mm 2.0 g Nickel plated steel Plain The spectacled bear, its popular name, and scientific name.

В 1907 году, после стабилизации бумажных денег, были введены монеты из купроникеля номиналом 1, 2 и 5 песо и выпускались до 1916 года. В 1913 году, после привязки песо к фунту стерлингов, были введены золотые монеты номиналом 2 1/2 и 5 песо, которые имели такой же вес и состав, как полусуверен и суверен. Золотые монеты номиналом 10 песо также были выпущены в 1919 и 1924 годах, а монеты номиналом 2 1/2 и 5 песо выпускались до 1929 и 1930 годов соответственно. В 1918 году монеты номиналом 1, 2 и 5 песо были заменены монетами номиналом 1, 2 и 5 сентаво того же размера и состава. В 1942 году были введены бронзовые монеты номиналом 1 и 5 сентаво, а в 1948 году - бронзовые монеты номиналом 2 сентаво. В период с 1952 по 1958 год купроникель заменил серебро в монетах номиналом 10, 20 и 50 сентаво. В 1967 году были введены стальные монеты с медным покрытием номиналом 1 и 5 сентаво, а также монеты из никелированной стали номиналом 10, 20 и 50 сентаво и медно-никелевые монеты номиналом 1 песо, производство 2-сентавовых монет было прекращено в 1960 году. В 1977 году были введены бронзовые монеты номиналом 2 песо. В 1984 году производство всех монет ниже 1 песо было прекращено. В последующие годы высокой инфляции были введены монеты более высокого номинала. Монеты номиналом 5 песо были введены в 1980 году, затем 10 песо в 1981 году, 20 песо в 1982 году, 50 песо в 1986 году, 100 песо в 1992 году, 200 песо в 1994 году, 500 песо в 1993 году и 1000 песо в 1996 году. Однако из-за массовых проблем с подделкой монета номиналом 1000 песо была постепенно изъята из обращения. К 2002 году монета была выведена из обращения. В феврале 2009 года центральный банк прекратил чеканку монет номиналом 5, 10, 20 песо. Они по-прежнему были законным платежным средством, но из-за их низкой стоимости и обращения большинство денежных операций округлялись до ближайших 100 песо. В 2012 году Банк Республики Колумбия выпустил новую серию монет, монеты номиналом 500 и 1000 песо теперь чеканились как биметаллические монеты.

В 1910 году Конверсионный совет ввел банкноты в 50 и 100 песо, а в 1915 году – в 1, 2, 5 и 10 песо. Более шестидесяти коммерческих банков выпустили банкноты в период с 1865 по 1923 год. Выпущенные номиналы включали 10¢, 20¢, 25¢, 50¢, а также 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 и 500 песо. В 1923 году Banco de la República монополизировал производство бумажных денег и ввел банкноты, номинированные в песо-оро. Первые выпуски были временными, напечатанными поверх более ранних банкнот Монетного двора Медельина (Casa de Moneda de Medellín), номиналом 2½, 5, 10 и 20 песо. Затем последовали регулярные выпуски в 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100 и 500 песо-оро. В 1927 году были введены банкноты в 20 песо. В 1932 и 1941 годах были выпущены серебряные сертификаты на 1 и 5 песо плата, хотя банкноты в 1 и 5 песо-оро продолжали выпускаться. В 1938 году были выпущены казначейские банкноты в 5 и 10 песо-оро, а затем – в ½ песо-оро в период с 1948 по 1953 год. Banco de la República также выпускал банкноты в ½ песо-оро в 1943 году, разрезая пополам банкноты в 1 песо. В 1974 и 1979 годах были введены банкноты в 200 и 1000 песо-оро соответственно, в то время как выпуск банкнот в 1 и 2 песо-оро прекратился в 1977 году, затем в 1980 году – 10 песо-оро, в 1981 году – 5 песо-оро, в 1983 году – 20 песо, а в 1986 году – 50 песо. В 1986 году были введены банкноты в 500 песо-оро, а в 1992 году – в 10 000 песо-оро. Производство банкнот в 100 песо-оро прекратилось в 1991 году, затем в 1992 году – в 200 песо-оро, а в 1993 году – в 500 песо-оро. В 1993 году слово "оро" было исключено. В 1996 году были введены банкноты в 20 000 песо, а в 2000 году – в 50 000 песо. В ноябре 2006 года размер банкнот в 1000 и 2000 песо был уменьшен с 140 × 70 мм до 130 × 65 мм, поскольку эти банкноты часто приходилось заменять из-за интенсивного использования. В декабре 2010 года Banco de la República выпустил банкноту в 2000 песо, которая теперь включает цифру "2", выполненную шрифтом Брайля в области водяного знака. В 2016 году Banco de la República выпустил новую серию банкнот номиналом 2000, 5000, 10 000, 20 000, 50 000 и 100 000 песо, причем последняя была новой и самой высокой номинальной стоимостью. Эти банкноты продолжают тему биоразнообразия, представленную в новой серии монет, выпущенных в 2012 году, и подчеркивают культурные элементы и ландшафты колумбийской географии. Кроме того, банкноты отдают дань уважения выдающимся деятелям культуры, науки и политики и подчеркивают важную роль женщин в колумбийском обществе. Новая банкнота в 100 000 песо была введена 31 марта 2016 года, за ней последовали банкноты в 20 000 песо 30 июня 2016 года, в 50 000 песо 19 августа 2016 года, в 5000 песо 9 ноября 2016 года и в 2000 песо 29 ноября 2016 года. Банкнота в 10 000 песо была выпущена 7 декабря 2016 года, завершив новую серию банкнот.

In 1923, the Banco de la República monopolized paper money production and introduced notes denominated in peso oro. The first were provisional issues, overprinted on earlier notes of the Casa de Moneda de Medellín, in denominations of 2 1/2, 5, 10 and 20 pesos. Regular issues followed for 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 pesos oro. Twenty peso notes were introduced in 1927. In 1932 and 1941, silver certificates were issued for 1 and 5 pesos plata, although 1 and 5 peso oro notes continued to be produced.

In November 2006, the 1,000 and 2,000 peso notes were reduced in size from 140 × 70 mm to 130 × 65 mm, because these notes are frequently replaced due to heavy use. In December 2010, the Banco de la República issued a 2,000 peso note that now includes the number "2" expressed in Braille in the watermark area. In 2016, the Banco de la Republica issued a new series of banknotes in denominations of 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 and 100,000 pesos, with the latter being a new and the highest denomination. These banknotes give continuity of biodiversity present in the new series of coins that began circulating in 2012, while highlighting a group of cultural elements and landscapes of Colombia's geography. Additionally, the notes pay tribute to major personalities of culture, science and politics, and reinforces recognition of women's important role in Colombian society.

Between 1857 and 1880, five of Colombia's then provinces, Bolívar, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Panama and Santander issued their own paper money. Denominations included 10¢ and 50¢, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 50 and 100 pesos. In the early 1860s, banknotes were issued in denominations of 20¢ and 1, 2, 3, 10, 20 and 100 pesos, with all denominations also given in reales. In 1881, the Banco Nacional introduced notes for 20¢, and 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pesos. These were followed by 50¢ notes in 1882 and 10¢ in 1885. 1,000 peso notes were introduced in 1895 and 500 peso notes in 1900. In 1904, the Treasury took over paper money production, issuing 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 peso notes, followed by 1,000 pesos in 1908. In 1910, the Conversion Board introduced 50 and 100 peso notes, followed by 1, 2, 5 and 10 pesos in 1915. More than sixty retail banks issued banknotes between 1865 and 1923. Denominations issued included 10¢, 20¢, 25¢, 50¢, and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 and 500 pesos. In 1923, the Banco de la República monopolized paper money production and introduced notes denominated in peso oro. The first were provisional issues, overprinted on earlier notes of the Casa de Moneda de Medellín, in denominations of 2 1/2, 5, 10 and 20 pesos. Regular issues followed for 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 pesos oro. Twenty peso notes were introduced in 1927. In 1932 and 1941, silver certificates were issued for 1 and 5 pesos plata, although 1 and 5 peso oro notes continued to be produced. Treasury notes for 5 and 10 pesos oro were issued in 1938, followed by 1/2 peso oro between 1948 and 1953. Half peso oro notes were also produced by the Banco de la República in 1943 by cutting in half 1 peso notes. The Banco de la República introduced 200 and 1,000 peso oro notes in 1974 and 1979, respectively, whilst 1 and 2 peso oro notes ceased production in 1977, followed by 10 pesos oro in 1980, 5 pesos oro in 1981, 20 pesos in 1983 and 50 pesos in 1986. 500 pesos oro notes were introduced in 1986 with 10,000 pesos oro in 1992. Production of 100 peso oro notes ended in 1991, followed by that of the 200 pesos oro in 1992 and 500 pesos oro in 1993. In 1993, the word oro was dropped. 20,000 peso notes were introduced in 1996, followed by 50,000 pesos in 2000. In November 2006, the 1,000 and 2,000 peso notes were reduced in size from 140 × 70 mm to 130 × 65 mm, because these notes are frequently replaced due to heavy use. In December 2010, the Banco de la República issued a 2,000 peso note that now includes the number "2" expressed in Braille in the watermark area. In 2016, the Banco de la Republica issued a new series of banknotes in denominations of 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 and 100,000 pesos, with the latter being a new and the highest denomination. These banknotes give continuity of biodiversity present in the new series of coins that began circulating in 2012, while highlighting a group of cultural elements and landscapes of Colombia's geography. Additionally, the notes pay tribute to major personalities of culture, science and politics, and reinforces recognition of women's important role in Colombian society. The new 100,000 pesos banknote was introduced on 31 March 2016, followed by the 20,000 pesos note on 30 June 2016, the 50,000 pesos note on 19 August 2016, the 5,000 pesos note on 9 November 2016, and the 2,000 pesos note on 29 November 2016. The 10,000 pesos note was issued on 7 December 2016, completing the new banknote series. 2016 Banknote series Image Value Dimensions Background color Description Date of Notes Obverse Reverse Watermark first series Issue last series 2,000 pesos 128 × 66 mm Blue Débora Arango Caño Cristales The face of painter Débora Arango and the number 2 19 August 2015 29 November 2016 5,000 pesos 133 × 66 mm Brown José Asunción Silva Colombian paramos The face of poet José Asunción Silva and the number 5 19 August 2015 9 November 2016 10,000 pesos 138 × 66 mm Red Virginia Gutiérrez de Pineda Amazon natural region The face of anthropologist Virginia Gutiérrez and the number 10 19 August 2015 7 December 2016 20,000 pesos 143 × 66 mm Orange Alfonso López Michelsen La Mojana channels in the region of the Zenú people and the sombrero vueltiao The face of President Alfonso López Michelsen and the number 20 19 August 2015 30 June 2016 50,000 pesos 148 × 66 mm Violet Gabriel García Márquez Lost City (core of the culture tayrona) The face of Nobel Prize winner, Gabriel García Márquez and the number 50 19 August 2015 19 August 2016 100,000 pesos 153 × 66 mm Green Carlos Lleras Restrepo Wax palm in Cocora valley, Quindío; Barranquero bird; Luis Vidales’s poem about wax palm; Liberty head bank seal The face of President Carlos Lleras Restrepo and the number 100. 8 August 2014 31 March 2016

Between 1857 and 1880, five of Colombia's then provinces, Bolívar, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Panama and Santander issued their own paper money. Denominations included 10¢ and 50¢, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 50 and 100 pesos. In the early 1860s, banknotes were issued in denominations of 20¢ and 1, 2, 3, 10, 20 and 100 pesos, with all denominations also given in reales. In 1881, the Banco Nacional introduced notes for 20¢, and 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pesos. These were followed by 50¢ notes in 1882 and 10¢ in 1885. 1,000 peso notes were introduced in 1895 and 500 peso notes in 1900. In 1904, the Treasury took over paper money production, issuing 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 peso notes, followed by 1,000 pesos in 1908. In 1910, the Conversion Board introduced 50 and 100 peso notes, followed by 1, 2, 5 and 10 pesos in 1915. More than sixty retail banks issued banknotes between 1865 and 1923. Denominations issued included 10¢, 20¢, 25¢, 50¢, and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 and 500 pesos. In 1923, the Banco de la República monopolized paper money production and introduced notes denominated in peso oro. The first were provisional issues, overprinted on earlier notes of the Casa de Moneda de Medellín, in denominations of 2 1/2, 5, 10 and 20 pesos. Regular issues followed for 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 pesos oro. Twenty peso notes were introduced in 1927. In 1932 and 1941, silver certificates were issued for 1 and 5 pesos plata, although 1 and 5 peso oro notes continued to be produced. Treasury notes for 5 and 10 pesos oro were issued in 1938, followed by 1/2 peso oro between 1948 and 1953. Half peso oro notes were also produced by the Banco de la República in 1943 by cutting in half 1 peso notes. The Banco de la República introduced 200 and 1,000 peso oro notes in 1974 and 1979, respectively, whilst 1 and 2 peso oro notes ceased production in 1977, followed by 10 pesos oro in 1980, 5 pesos oro in 1981, 20 pesos in 1983 and 50 pesos in 1986. 500 pesos oro notes were introduced in 1986 with 10,000 pesos oro in 1992. Production of 100 peso oro notes ended in 1991, followed by that of the 200 pesos oro in 1992 and 500 pesos oro in 1993. In 1993, the word oro was dropped. 20,000 peso notes were introduced in 1996, followed by 50,000 pesos in 2000. In November 2006, the 1,000 and 2,000 peso notes were reduced in size from 140 × 70 mm to 130 × 65 mm, because these notes are frequently replaced due to heavy use. In December 2010, the Banco de la República issued a 2,000 peso note that now includes the number "2" expressed in Braille in the watermark area. In 2016, the Banco de la Republica issued a new series of banknotes in denominations of 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 and 100,000 pesos, with the latter being a new and the highest denomination. These banknotes give continuity of biodiversity present in the new series of coins that began circulating in 2012, while highlighting a group of cultural elements and landscapes of Colombia's geography. Additionally, the notes pay tribute to major personalities of culture, science and politics, and reinforces recognition of women's important role in Colombian society. The new 100,000 pesos banknote was introduced on 31 March 2016, followed by the 20,000 pesos note on 30 June 2016, the 50,000 pesos note on 19 August 2016, the 5,000 pesos note on 9 November 2016, and the 2,000 pesos note on 29 November 2016. The 10,000 pesos note was issued on 7 December 2016, completing the new banknote series. 2016 Banknote series Image Value Dimensions Background color Description Date of Notes Obverse Reverse Watermark first series Issue last series 2,000 pesos 128 × 66 mm Blue Débora Arango Caño Cristales The face of painter Débora Arango and the number 2 19 August 2015 29 November 2016 5,000 pesos 133 × 66 mm Brown José Asunción Silva Colombian paramos The face of poet José Asunción Silva and the number 5 19 August 2015 9 November 2016 10,000 pesos 138 × 66 mm Red Virginia Gutiérrez de Pineda Amazon natural region The face of anthropologist Virginia Gutiérrez and the number 10 19 August 2015 7 December 2016 20,000 pesos 143 × 66 mm Orange Alfonso López Michelsen La Mojana channels in the region of the Zenú people and the sombrero vueltiao The face of President Alfonso López Michelsen and the number 20 19 August 2015 30 June 2016 50,000 pesos 148 × 66 mm Violet Gabriel García Márquez Lost City (core of the culture tayrona) The face of Nobel Prize winner, Gabriel García Márquez and the number 50 19 August 2015 19 August 2016 100,000 pesos 153 × 66 mm Green Carlos Lleras Restrepo Wax palm in Cocora valley, Quindío; Barranquero bird; Luis Vidales’s poem about wax palm; Liberty head bank seal The face of President Carlos Lleras Restrepo and the number 100. 8 August 2014 31 March 2016

Additionally, the notes pay tribute to major personalities of culture, science and politics, and reinforces recognition of women's important role in Colombian society.

In 1923, the Banco de la República monopolized paper money production and introduced notes denominated in peso oro. The first were provisional issues, overprinted on earlier notes of the Casa de Moneda de Medellín, in denominations of 2 1/2, 5, 10 and 20 pesos. Regular issues followed for 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 pesos oro. Twenty peso notes were introduced in 1927. In 1932 and 1941, silver certificates were issued for 1 and 5 pesos plata, although 1 and 5 peso oro notes continued to be produced. Treasury notes for 5 and 10 pesos oro were issued in 1938, followed by 1/2 peso oro between 1948 and 1953.

These banknotes give continuity of biodiversity present in the new series of coins that began circulating in 2012, while highlighting a group of cultural elements and landscapes of Colombia's geography. Additionally, the notes pay tribute to major personalities of culture, science and politics, and reinforces recognition of women's important role in Colombian society. The new 100,000 pesos banknote was introduced on 31 March 2016, followed by the 20,000 pesos note on 30 June 2016, the 50,000 pesos note on 19 August 2016, the 5,000 pesos note on 9 November 2016, and the 2,000 pesos note on 29 November 2016.

Denominations included 10¢ and 50¢, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 50 and 100 pesos. In the early 1860s, banknotes were issued in denominations of 20¢ and 1, 2, 3, 10, 20 and 100 pesos, with all denominations also given in reales. In 1881, the Banco Nacional introduced notes for 20¢, and 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pesos.

In 1904, the Treasury took over paper money production, issuing 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 peso notes, followed by 1,000 pesos in 1908. In 1910, the Conversion Board introduced 50 and 100 peso notes, followed by 1, 2, 5 and 10 pesos in 1915. More than sixty retail banks issued banknotes between 1865 and 1923.

The first were provisional issues, overprinted on earlier notes of the Casa de Moneda de Medellín, in denominations of 2 1/2, 5, 10 and 20 pesos. Regular issues followed for 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 pesos oro. Twenty peso notes were introduced in 1927. In 1932 and 1941, silver certificates were issued for 1 and 5 pesos plata, although 1 and 5 peso oro notes continued to be produced. Treasury notes for 5 and 10 pesos oro were issued in 1938, followed by 1/2 peso oro between 1948 and 1953. Half peso oro notes were also produced by the Banco de la República in 1943 by cutting in half 1 peso notes.

These banknotes give continuity of biodiversity present in the new series of coins that began circulating in 2012, while highlighting a group of cultural elements and landscapes of Colombia's geography. Additionally, the notes pay tribute to major personalities of culture, science and politics, and reinforces recognition of women's important role in Colombian society. The new 100,000 pesos banknote was introduced on 31 March 2016, followed by the 20,000 pesos note on 30 June 2016, the 50,000 pesos note on 19 August 2016, the 5,000 pesos note on 9 November 2016, and the 2,000 pesos note on 29 November 2016.

Between 1857 and 1880, five of Colombia's then provinces, Bolívar, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Panama and Santander issued their own paper money. Denominations included 10¢ and 50¢, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 50 and 100 pesos. In the early 1860s, banknotes were issued in denominations of 20¢ and 1, 2, 3, 10, 20 and 100 pesos, with all denominations also given in reales. In 1881, the Banco Nacional introduced notes for 20¢, and 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pesos. These were followed by 50¢ notes in 1882 and 10¢ in 1885. 1,000 peso notes were introduced in 1895 and 500 peso notes in 1900. In 1904, the Treasury took over paper money production, issuing 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 peso notes, followed by 1,000 pesos in 1908. In 1910, the Conversion Board introduced 50 and 100 peso notes, followed by 1, 2, 5 and 10 pesos in 1915. More than sixty retail banks issued banknotes between 1865 and 1923. Denominations issued included 10¢, 20¢, 25¢, 50¢, and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 and 500 pesos. In 1923, the Banco de la República monopolized paper money production and introduced notes denominated in peso oro. The first were provisional issues, overprinted on earlier notes of the Casa de Moneda de Medellín, in denominations of 2 1/2, 5, 10 and 20 pesos. Regular issues followed for 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 pesos oro. Twenty peso notes were introduced in 1927. In 1932 and 1941, silver certificates were issued for 1 and 5 pesos plata, although 1 and 5 peso oro notes continued to be produced. Treasury notes for 5 and 10 pesos oro were issued in 1938, followed by 1/2 peso oro between 1948 and 1953. Half peso oro notes were also produced by the Banco de la República in 1943 by cutting in half 1 peso notes. The Banco de la República introduced 200 and 1,000 peso oro notes in 1974 and 1979, respectively, whilst 1 and 2 peso oro notes ceased production in 1977, followed by 10 pesos oro in 1980, 5 pesos oro in 1981, 20 pesos in 1983 and 50 pesos in 1986. 500 pesos oro notes were introduced in 1986 with 10,000 pesos oro in 1992. Production of 100 peso oro notes ended in 1991, followed by that of the 200 pesos oro in 1992 and 500 pesos oro in 1993. In 1993, the word oro was dropped. 20,000 peso notes were introduced in 1996, followed by 50,000 pesos in 2000. In November 2006, the 1,000 and 2,000 peso notes were reduced in size from 140 × 70 mm to 130 × 65 mm, because these notes are frequently replaced due to heavy use. In December 2010, the Banco de la República issued a 2,000 peso note that now includes the number "2" expressed in Braille in the watermark area. In 2016, the Banco de la Republica issued a new series of banknotes in denominations of 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 and 100,000 pesos, with the latter being a new and the highest denomination. These banknotes give continuity of biodiversity present in the new series of coins that began circulating in 2012, while highlighting a group of cultural elements and landscapes of Colombia's geography. Additionally, the notes pay tribute to major personalities of culture, science and politics, and reinforces recognition of women's important role in Colombian society. The new 100,000 pesos banknote was introduced on 31 March 2016, followed by the 20,000 pesos note on 30 June 2016, the 50,000 pesos note on 19 August 2016, the 5,000 pesos note on 9 November 2016, and the 2,000 pesos note on 29 November 2016.

Between 1857 and 1880, five of Colombia's then provinces, Bolívar, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Panama and Santander issued their own paper money. Denominations included 10¢ and 50¢, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 50 and 100 pesos. In the early 1860s, banknotes were issued in denominations of 20¢ and 1, 2, 3, 10, 20 and 100 pesos, with all denominations also given in reales. In 1881, the Banco Nacional introduced notes for 20¢, and 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pesos. These were followed by 50¢ notes in 1882 and 10¢ in 1885. 1,000 peso notes were introduced in 1895 and 500 peso notes in 1900. In 1904, the Treasury took over paper money production, issuing 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 peso notes, followed by 1,000 pesos in 1908. In 1910, the Conversion Board introduced 50 and 100 peso notes, followed by 1, 2, 5 and 10 pesos in 1915. More than sixty retail banks issued banknotes between 1865 and 1923. Denominations issued included 10¢, 20¢, 25¢, 50¢, and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 and 500 pesos. In 1923, the Banco de la República monopolized paper money production and introduced notes denominated in peso oro. The first were provisional issues, overprinted on earlier notes of the Casa de Moneda de Medellín, in denominations of 2 1/2, 5, 10 and 20 pesos. Regular issues followed for 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 pesos oro. Twenty peso notes were introduced in 1927. In 1932 and 1941, silver certificates were issued for 1 and 5 pesos plata, although 1 and 5 peso oro notes continued to be produced. Treasury notes for 5 and 10 pesos oro were issued in 1938, followed by 1/2 peso oro between 1948 and 1953. Half peso oro notes were also produced by the Banco de la República in 1943 by cutting in half 1 peso notes. The Banco de la República introduced 200 and 1,000 peso oro notes in 1974 and 1979, respectively, whilst 1 and 2 peso oro notes ceased production in 1977, followed by 10 pesos oro in 1980, 5 pesos oro in 1981, 20 pesos in 1983 and 50 pesos in 1986. 500 pesos oro notes were introduced in 1986 with 10,000 pesos oro in 1992. Production of 100 peso oro notes ended in 1991, followed by that of the 200 pesos oro in 1992 and 500 pesos oro in 1993. In 1993, the word oro was dropped. 20,000 peso notes were introduced in 1996, followed by 50,000 pesos in 2000. In November 2006, the 1,000 and 2,000 peso notes were reduced in size from 140 × 70 mm to 130 × 65 mm, because these notes are frequently replaced due to heavy use. In December 2010, the Banco de la República issued a 2,000 peso note that now includes the number "2" expressed in Braille in the watermark area. In 2016, the Banco de la Republica issued a new series of banknotes in denominations of 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 and 100,000 pesos, with the latter being a new and the highest denomination. These banknotes give continuity of biodiversity present in the new series of coins that began circulating in 2012, while highlighting a group of cultural elements and landscapes of Colombia's geography. Additionally, the notes pay tribute to major personalities of culture, science and politics, and reinforces recognition of women's important role in Colombian society. The new 100,000 pesos banknote was introduced on 31 March 2016, followed by the 20,000 pesos note on 30 June 2016, the 50,000 pesos note on 19 August 2016, the 5,000 pesos note on 9 November 2016, and the 2,000 pesos note on 29 November 2016.

Between 1857 and 1880, five of Colombia's then provinces, Bolívar, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Panama and Santander issued their own paper money. Denominations included 10¢ and 50¢, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 50 and 100 pesos. In the early 1860s, banknotes were issued in denominations of 20¢ and 1, 2, 3, 10, 20 and 100 pesos, with all denominations also given in reales. In 1881, the Banco Nacional introduced notes for 20¢, and 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pesos. These were followed by 50¢ notes in 1882 and 10¢ in 1885. 1,000 peso notes were introduced in 1895 and 500 peso notes in 1900. In 1904, the Treasury took over paper money production, issuing 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 peso notes, followed by 1,000 pesos in 1908. In 1910, the Conversion Board introduced 50 and 100 peso notes, followed by 1, 2, 5 and 10 pesos in 1915. More than sixty retail banks issued banknotes between 1865 and 1923. Denominations issued included 10¢, 20¢, 25¢, 50¢, and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 and 500 pesos. In 1923, the Banco de la República monopolized paper money production and introduced notes denominated in peso oro. The first were provisional issues, overprinted on earlier notes of the Casa de Moneda de Medellín, in denominations of 2 1/2, 5, 10 and 20 pesos. Regular issues followed for 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 pesos oro. Twenty peso notes were introduced in 1927. In 1932 and 1941, silver certificates were issued for 1 and 5 pesos plata, although 1 and 5 peso oro notes continued to be produced. Treasury notes for 5 and 10 pesos oro were issued in 1938, followed by 1/2 peso oro between 1948 and 1953. Half peso oro notes were also produced by the Banco de la República in 1943 by cutting in half 1 peso notes. The Banco de la República introduced 200 and 1,000 peso oro notes in 1974 and 1979, respectively, whilst 1 and 2 peso oro notes ceased production in 1977, followed by 10 pesos oro in 1980, 5 pesos oro in 1981, 20 pesos in 1983 and 50 pesos in 1986. 500 pesos oro notes were introduced in 1986 with 10,000 pesos oro in 1992. Production of 100 peso oro notes ended in 1991, followed by that of the 200 pesos oro in 1992 and 500 pesos oro in 1993. In 1993, the word oro was dropped. 20,000 peso notes were introduced in 1996, followed by 50,000 pesos in 2000. In November 2006, the 1,000 and 2,000 peso notes were reduced in size from 140 × 70 mm to 130 × 65 mm, because these notes are frequently replaced due to heavy use. In December 2010, the Banco de la República issued a 2,000 peso note that now includes the number "2" expressed in Braille in the watermark area. In 2016, the Banco de la Republica issued a new series of banknotes in denominations of 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 and 100,000 pesos, with the latter being a new and the highest denomination. These banknotes give continuity of biodiversity present in the new series of coins that began circulating in 2012, while highlighting a group of cultural elements and landscapes of Colombia's geography. Additionally, the notes pay tribute to major personalities of culture, science and politics, and reinforces recognition of women's important role in Colombian society. The new 100,000 pesos banknote was introduced on 31 March 2016, followed by the 20,000 pesos note on 30 June 2016, the 50,000 pesos note on 19 August 2016, the 5,000 pesos note on 9 November 2016, and the 2,000 pesos note on 29 November 2016. The 10,000 pesos note was issued on 7 December 2016, completing the new banknote series. 2016 Banknote series Image Value Dimensions Background color Description Date of Notes Obverse Reverse Watermark first series Issue last series 2,000 pesos 128 × 66 mm Blue Débora Arango Caño Cristales The face of painter Débora Arango and the number 2 19 August 2015 29 November 2016 5,000 pesos 133 × 66 mm Brown José Asunción Silva Colombian paramos The face of poet José Asunción Silva and the number 5 19 August 2015 9 November 2016 10,000 pesos 138 × 66 mm Red Virginia Gutiérrez de Pineda Amazon natural region The face of anthropologist Virginia Gutiérrez and the number 10 19 August 2015 7 December 2016 20,000 pesos 143 × 66 mm Orange Alfonso López Michelsen La Mojana channels in the region of the Zenú people and the sombrero vueltiao The face of President Alfonso López Michelsen and the number 20 19 August 2015 30 June 2016 50,000 pesos 148 × 66 mm Violet Gabriel García Márquez Lost City (core of the culture tayrona) The face of Nobel Prize winner, Gabriel García Márquez and the number 50 19 August 2015 19 August 2016 100,000 pesos 153 × 66 mm Green Carlos Lleras Restrepo Wax palm in Cocora valley, Quindío; Barranquero bird; Luis Vidales’s poem about wax palm; Liberty head bank seal The face of President Carlos Lleras Restrepo and the number 100. 8 August 2014 31 March 2016

In November 2006, the 1,000 and 2,000 peso notes were reduced in size from 140 × 70 mm to 130 × 65 mm, because these notes are frequently replaced due to heavy use. In December 2010, the Banco de la República issued a 2,000 peso note that now includes the number "2" expressed in Braille in the watermark area. In 2016, the Banco de la Republica issued a new series of banknotes in denominations of 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 and 100,000 pesos, with the latter being a new and the highest denomination. These banknotes give continuity of biodiversity present in the new series of coins that began circulating in 2012, while highlighting a group of cultural elements and landscapes of Colombia's geography. Additionally, the notes pay tribute to major personalities of culture, science and politics, and reinforces recognition of women's important role in Colombian society. The new 100,000 pesos banknote was introduced on 31 March 2016, followed by the 20,000 pesos note on 30 June 2016, the 50,000 pesos note on 19 August 2016, the 5,000 pesos note on 9 November 2016, and the 2,000 pesos note on 29 November 2016.

Between 1857 and 1880, five of Colombia's then provinces, Bolívar, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Panama and Santander issued their own paper money. Denominations included 10¢ and 50¢, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 50 and 100 pesos. In the early 1860s, banknotes were issued in denominations of 20¢ and 1, 2, 3, 10, 20 and 100 pesos, with all denominations also given in reales. In 1881, the Banco Nacional introduced notes for 20¢, and 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pesos. These were followed by 50¢ notes in 1882 and 10¢ in 1885. 1,000 peso notes were introduced in 1895 and 500 peso notes in 1900. In 1904, the Treasury took over paper money production, issuing 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 peso notes, followed by 1,000 pesos in 1908. In 1910, the Conversion Board introduced 50 and 100 peso notes, followed by 1, 2, 5 and 10 pesos in 1915. More than sixty retail banks issued banknotes between 1865 and 1923. Denominations issued included 10¢, 20¢, 25¢, 50¢, and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 and 500 pesos.

The first were provisional issues, overprinted on earlier notes of the Casa de Moneda de Medellín, in denominations of 2 1/2, 5, 10 and 20 pesos. Regular issues followed for 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 pesos oro. Twenty peso notes were introduced in 1927.

Treasury notes for 5 and 10 pesos oro were issued in 1938, followed by 1/2 peso oro between 1948 and 1953. Half peso oro notes were also produced by the Banco de la República in 1943 by cutting in half 1 peso notes.

Regular issues followed for 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 pesos oro. Twenty peso notes were introduced in 1927. In 1932 and 1941, silver certificates were issued for 1 and 5 pesos plata, although 1 and 5 peso oro notes continued to be produced. Treasury notes for 5 and 10 pesos oro were issued in 1938, followed by 1/2 peso oro between 1948 and 1953. Half peso oro notes were also produced by the Banco de la República in 1943 by cutting in half 1 peso notes. The Banco de la República introduced 200 and 1,000 peso oro notes in 1974 and 1979, respectively, whilst 1 and 2 peso oro notes ceased production in 1977, followed by 10 pesos oro in 1980, 5 pesos oro in 1981, 20 pesos in 1983 and 50 pesos in 1986. 500 pesos oro notes were introduced in 1986 with 10,000 pesos oro in 1992. Production of 100 peso oro notes ended in 1991, followed by that of the 200 pesos oro in 1992 and 500 pesos oro in 1993. In 1993, the word oro was dropped. 20,000 peso notes were introduced in 1996, followed by 50,000 pesos in 2000. In November 2006, the 1,000 and 2,000 peso notes were reduced in size from 140 × 70 mm to 130 × 65 mm, because these notes are frequently replaced due to heavy use. In December 2010, the Banco de la República issued a 2,000 peso note that now includes the number "2" expressed in Braille in the watermark area. In 2016, the Banco de la Republica issued a new series of banknotes in denominations of 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 and 100,000 pesos, with the latter being a new and the highest denomination. These banknotes give continuity of biodiversity present in the new series of coins that began circulating in 2012, while highlighting a group of cultural elements and landscapes of Colombia's geography. Additionally, the notes pay tribute to major personalities of culture, science and politics, and reinforces recognition of women's important role in Colombian society. The new 100,000 pesos banknote was introduced on 31 March 2016, followed by the 20,000 pesos note on 30 June 2016, the 50,000 pesos note on 19 August 2016, the 5,000 pesos note on 9 November 2016, and the 2,000 pesos note on 29 November 2016.

Between 1857 and 1880, five of Colombia's then provinces, Bolívar, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Panama and Santander issued their own paper money. Denominations included 10¢ and 50¢, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 50 and 100 pesos. In the early 1860s, banknotes were issued in denominations of 20¢ and 1, 2, 3, 10, 20 and 100 pesos, with all denominations also given in reales. In 1881, the Banco Nacional introduced notes for 20¢, and 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 pesos. These were followed by 50¢ notes in 1882 and 10¢ in 1885. 1,000 peso notes were introduced in 1895 and 500 peso notes in 1900. In 1904, the Treasury took over paper money production, issuing 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 peso notes, followed by 1,000 pesos in 1908. In 1910, the Conversion Board introduced 50 and 100 peso notes, followed by 1, 2, 5 and 10 pesos in 1915. More than sixty retail banks issued banknotes between 1865 and 1923. Denominations issued included 10¢, 20¢, 25¢, 50¢, and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 and 500 pesos. In 1923, the Banco de la República monopolized paper money production and introduced notes denominated in peso oro. The first were provisional issues, overprinted on earlier notes of the Casa de Moneda de Medellín, in denominations of 2 1/2, 5, 10 and 20 pesos. Regular issues followed for 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 pesos oro. Twenty peso notes were introduced in 1927. In 1932 and 1941, silver certificates were issued for 1 and 5 pesos plata, although 1 and 5 peso oro notes continued to be produced. Treasury notes for 5 and 10 pesos oro were issued in 1938, followed by 1/2 peso oro between 1948 and 1953. Half peso oro notes were also produced by the Banco de la República in 1943 by cutting in half 1 peso notes. The Banco de la República introduced 200 and 1,000 peso oro notes in 1974 and 1979, respectively, whilst 1 and 2 peso oro notes ceased production in 1977, followed by 10 pesos oro in 1980, 5 pesos oro in 1981, 20 pesos in 1983 and 50 pesos in 1986. 500 pesos oro notes were introduced in 1986 with 10,000 pesos oro in 1992. Production of 100 peso oro notes ended in 1991, followed by that of the 200 pesos oro in 1992 and 500 pesos oro in 1993. In 1993, the word oro was dropped. 20,000 peso notes were introduced in 1996, followed by 50,000 pesos in 2000. In November 2006, the 1,000 and 2,000 peso notes were reduced in size from 140 × 70 mm to 130 × 65 mm, because these notes are frequently replaced due to heavy use. In December 2010, the Banco de la República issued a 2,000 peso note that now includes the number "2" expressed in Braille in the watermark area. In 2016, the Banco de la Republica issued a new series of banknotes in denominations of 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 and 100,000 pesos, with the latter being a new and the highest denomination. These banknotes give continuity of biodiversity present in the new series of coins that began circulating in 2012, while highlighting a group of cultural elements and landscapes of Colombia's geography. Additionally, the notes pay tribute to major personalities of culture, science and politics, and reinforces recognition of women's important role in Colombian society. The new 100,000 pesos banknote was introduced on 31 March 2016, followed by the 20,000 pesos note on 30 June 2016, the 50,000 pesos note on 19 August 2016, the 5,000 pesos note on 9 November 2016, and the 2,000 pesos note on 29 November 2016. The 10,000 pesos note was issued on 7 December 2016, completing the new banknote series. 2016 Banknote series Image Value Dimensions Background color Description Date of Notes Obverse Reverse Watermark first series Issue last series 2,000 pesos 128 × 66 mm Blue Débora Arango Caño Cristales The face of painter Débora Arango and the number 2 19 August 2015 29 November 2016 5,000 pesos 133 × 66 mm Brown José Asunción Silva Colombian paramos The face of poet José Asunción Silva and the number 5 19 August 2015 9 November 2016 10,000 pesos 138 × 66 mm Red Virginia Gutiérrez de Pineda Amazon natural region The face of anthropologist Virginia Gutiérrez and the number 10 19 August 2015 7 December 2016 20,000 pesos 143 × 66 mm Orange Alfonso López Michelsen La Mojana channels in the region of the Zenú people and the sombrero vueltiao The face of President Alfonso López Michelsen and the number 20 19 August 2015 30 June 2016 50,000 pesos 148 × 66 mm Violet Gabriel García Márquez Lost City (core of the culture tayrona) The face of Nobel Prize winner, Gabriel García Márquez and the number 50 19 August 2015 19 August 2016 100,000 pesos 153 × 66 mm Green Carlos Lleras Restrepo Wax palm in Cocora valley, Quindío; Barranquero bird; Luis Vidales’s poem about wax palm; Liberty head bank seal The face of President Carlos Lleras Restrepo and the number 100. 8 August 2014 31 March 2016

Использование в Венесуэле
Кризис в Венесуэле вызвал экономический кризис, в котором стоимость боливара стремительно упала, что привело к гиперинфляции. В некоторых регионах Венесуэлы неофициально принимают песо для расчетов, наряду с долларом США. Штат Тачира принял колумбийское песо в качестве законного платежного средства, и боливаром там пользуются редко.
The crisis in Venezuela has caused an economic crisis in which the value of the bolívar declined rapidly, resulting in hyperinflation. Some areas in Venezuela informally accept the peso for transactions, alongside the United States dollar. The state of Táchira adopted the Colombian peso as legal tender, and the bolívar is rarely used.
