| Dec 5, 2018 at 1:48 | comment | added | user64742 | @coteyr no they aren't. The links are saying that people were merely carrying a large amount of cash and charged with "economic crimes" for attempting take their own money across the border. Statements such as the "citizens responsibility when having a large amount of money in their possession" lead me to believe it is not about the money itself being sold but rather that the government wants the citizens to turn in any large amounts of money in their possession. It definitely sounds like a bad situation there. I wouldn't try bringing more than one stack out of that country if that. | |

| Dec 4, 2018 at 11:19 | comment | added | Gábor | @coteyr: it's very irresponsible to act so with this question. Two Venezuelans have answered with dire warnings that leaving the country with larger amounts of cash, no matter whether it's really worth anything or not, is considered very seriously by the authorities in order to promote their own propaganda. Perpetrators are caught and widely publicized in state media. Please, allow them to be informed enough to warn other people and don't downplay their warnings. Do the exact opposite by all means you have available here. | |

| Dec 3, 2018 at 18:51 | comment | added | coteyr | Usually, links are good references but you want to include the most critical parts of the linked content to help protect against link rot. But the links you provided (one of which is just google) don't seem to be about the bringing currency into another country, but about selling the currency for an inflated value. (I had to translate so that may not be 100% correct) | |
