Venezuelans welcomed the introduction of new banknotes on Monday with a mixture of hope and anticipation as to how the move will affect prices. The new "sovereign bolivar" aims to simplify monetary transactions by lopping off five zeros from the bolivar, which will be taken out of circulation. (Xinhua/Gregorio Teran/AVN)
