News: Venezuela to Give Currency New Name and Numbers

(This NYT article is probably one of the most asinine I've seen on such a simple topic. But, right now it's the only one out.) Quickie version: Venezuela will reset their currency at 1 new ("strong") bolivar to 1000 old. In so doing they'll revive old denoms like the 12.5 cent coin. Whatever happens economically, we're sure to get some new coins and notes to collect image (Here's hoping they have designs a little more elaborate than Bolivar's mug on 'em!)
