Border shut for banknote switch
Venezuela decided on Monday to temporarily close the border with Colombia, as the country prepares to introduce new banknotes and withdraw the 100-bolivar notes from circulation. "Starting now, the border with Colombia is closed again for 72 hours," President Nicolas Maduro ordered on Monday. The introduction of the new banknote is scheduled to officially launch on Tuesday.
