History reference:
Bolivar is first a minor (in 1871-1879), and then the main (from 1879 to 2018) monetary unit of Venezuela. Bolívar is named after Latin American independence hero Simón Bolívar. The bolívar was passe...d under the Monetary Law of 1879, replacing the short-lived Venezolano at a rate of five bolívares to one Venezolano. The bolivar was originally defined by a silver standard, equal to 4.5 grams of pure silver, following the principles of the Latin Monetary Union. The monetary law of 1887 made the gold bolivar unrestricted legal tender, and the gold standard came into full force in 1910. Venezuela abandoned gold in 1930, and in 1934 the exchange rate of the bolivar was fixed in US dollars at a rate of 3.914 bolivars = US$1, valued at 3.18 bolivars = US$1 in 1937, a rate that lasted until 1941 Until February 18, 1983 (now called Black Friday (Viernes Negro) by many Venezuelans), the Bolívar was the most stable and internationally recognized currency in the region. It then fell victim to a massive devaluation.

History reference:
The monetary unit of Morocco is the Moroccan dirham. The history of the national currency of Morocco is as interesting as the historical path of the kingdom itself. Despite the fact that the current ...currency in the country began to be used relatively recently, the history of the monetary system in this country is very old. Until 1921, the Moroccan rial was used in monetary circulation in Morocco. After 1921, the Moroccan rial is replaced by the Moroccan franc at the rate of 1 rial = 5 francs. In 1956, France recognized the independence of Morocco and reunified with Spanish Morocco, as a result of which the Spanish peseta was introduced into the money circulation in the ratio of 10 francs = 1 peseta. In 1960, the Moroccan dirham was introduced, consisting of 100 francs, and in 1974 the franc was replaced by a centime.
