Thank you to our BSU co-heads, students, faculty, staff, and the African American Support Committee for making Black History Month 2023 a very special one in highlighting Black currency and celebrating the Black community!
The Venezuelan financial system is completely isolated from the rest of the world. The exchange control system in Venezuela prohibits making any kind of payment between a bank account abroad and one inside the country, or to use local credit cards abroad or online without the approval from the Commission of Foreign Exchange Administration. As a result, a black market has developed for foreign currencies which are priced at a significant premium to the official exchange rate because of its high demand. For example, buying U.S. dollars is not simple in Venezuela regardless of the high demand. For this reason, the black currency exchange market has proliferated significantly in the last few years and many broker-dealers seem to be currently facilitating it illegally.
No matter how thriving the black currency exchange market is, the bottom line is that it is illegal and due to its illegal nature, participants of this market usually attempt to conceal their participation. Participants usually prefer to carry cash transactions since they would be obviously reluctant to leave any trace of their involvement. This parallel market is extremely risky for both broker-dealers and participants of this illegal market. This article discusses the reasons why the black currency market is becoming highly prevalent in Venezuela and risks involved in this market.
No doubt, the black currency market continues to exist due to the adverse economic factors in force in Venezuela. In a black market, parties typically enter into verbal agreements and therefore should be avoided as there is no basis of verbal contracts. Businesses and individuals need to protect themselves from becoming victims of fraud and avoid delivering large sums of money, and never to receive foreign currency in exchange. Also, there may be scammers, fraudsters or even entities disguised as broker-dealers who may take advantage of a person looking for exchanging currency.
Recently, Venezuela has further tightened restrictions on currency trading by preventing private brokerages from participating in the currency swap business. Under the Venezuelan law, the Central Bank of Venezuela has exclusive control over currency trading. And, parties involved in the purchase, sale, transfer, export, import or receipt of foreign currency within Venezuela, without the involvement and control of the Central Bank of Venezuela, can be subject to huge substantial fines and potential imprisonment between 3 to 6 years.

The black money scam, sometimes also known as the "black dollar scam" or "wash wash scam", is a scam where con artists attempt to fraudulently obtain money from a victim by convincing them that piles of banknote-sized paper are real currency that has been stained in a heist. The victim is persuaded to pay fees and purchase chemicals to remove the dye, with the promise of a share in the proceeds.
A Ghanaian native caught perpetrating the scam revealed the tricks of the trade to ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross.[1] Authentic US$100 bills are coated with a protective layer of glue, and then dipped into a solution of tincture of iodine.[2] The bill, when dried, looks and feels like black construction paper. The mass of notes are real construction paper; when the victim picks a "note" for cleaning, it is switched with the iodine-coated note. The "magic cleaning solution" is actually crushed vitamin C tablets dissolved in water. In another arrest, ordinary raspberry drink mix was found to be the "magic cleaning solution". Solutions of calcium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide have also been used as washing agents in the scam.
Abstract:Monetary historians argue that two types of currencies were circulating in the middle ages of Europe. The first was the standard historical form of money made up of gold and silver coins, and the second was a set of small pieces of copper and other metallic substances used mainly in towns and townships for local trade as currency. Jetton and tokens are monetized objects that are not official currencies; they were of lower quality of the inferior metallic object, which were used for day-to-day transaction needs. The drive for local monetary decentralization is pointed to build up fiscal autonomy and responsible local monetary institutions. This paper reasons that the monetary regime of the Renaissance was a real and genuine trimetallic currency regime.Keywords: the second currency; complementary currency; middle ages currency; counter-cyclicality; barter
Under the new regulations, the Uzbek currency, the som, will no longer be fixed to the U.S. dollar, while restrictions on the amount of foreign currencies individuals and companies can buy will be abolished.
While citizens are anxiously awaiting the official decree allowing them to freely buy and sell foreign currency at a market rate instead of skulking around sketchy bazaars in search of a few dollars, black-market traders are girding for hard times ahead.
The legislation calls for "the State Prosecutor's Office, the State Tax Committee and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan to take effective measures to curb the illegal circulation and conduct of operations with cash foreign currency on the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan."
The currency reforms are part of a series of steps President Shavkat Mirziyoev, who was elected in December, is taking to help open up Central Asia's second-largest economy, attract foreign investment, and reduce the isolation of the country of some 30 million people.
Islam Karimov, the ex-Soviet republic's first ruler after independence, had pinned the value of the som to the dollar. But the policy has led to a flourishing illegal market as the difference between the official exchange rate of 4,210 soms to the dollar has soared on the black market.
Banking sources told Reuters on September 3 that the initial rate when the regulations were removed would be set slightly above the black-market rate, currently about 7,650 soms to the dollar, according to DollarUZ.com.
The "valyutchiki," as they are known, is a ring of hard-currency sellers and buyers with roots that run deep into the Soviet-era. Many have made hundreds of thousands of dollars in a country where the average monthly net salary is below $300.
"Those who came to exchange up to $100 at the market were deprived of that cash and informed that they will face trials. Those with $3,000 and more in their possession were detained," the vendor said, adding that he heard that the houses of all known hard-currency exchangers in Andijon were searched.
In enacting the decree, the president noted that the existing foreign-currency regulations "created an inefficient system of privileges and preferences for individual industries and business entities."
Foreign companies have largely stayed out of resource-rich Uzbekistan because decades-old regulations under Karimov forced most businesses to sell foreign currency at a knockdown official rate while buying it at a much more costly one.
This data can be used to make observations about the nature of currency black markets. How do they arise and disappear? What form do they take? What determines black market premia for hard currency and how can such information be used by investors? Many economic studies are based on official rates that were fixed and chronically overvalued. By contrast, the parallel rates analysed by Winton provide a more nuanced narrative on postwar financial history, demonstrating the importance of consulting alternative sources of data that are extrinsic to markets when conducting financial research.
Black markets come about when controls on foreign exchange restrict access to the official markets, forcing people to resort to unofficial channels. This typically gives rise to a premium over the official rate known as the black market premium. Currency restrictions are primarily intended to prevent debilitating capital outflows during periods of macroeconomic weakness. They include banning the use and possession of foreign currencies within a country, banning residents from purchasing foreign securities or holding bank balances abroad, and restricting the amount of currency that can be imported and exported.
Another form of currency control involves the use of dual exchange rates. Governments sometimes introduce dual exchange rates during balance of payments crises to limit the short-term impact of capital outflows on domestic prices and international reserves. Priority current account transactions, such as industrial inputs, are assigned to the pegged official rate while all remaining legal transactions, including private capital account transactions, are supposed to proceed at an officially floating parallel exchange rate. Sometimes, countries use a complex array of multiple exchange rates in an attempt to resolve specific imbalances.
Although such arrangements are intended to reduce the pressure on the official rate, a black market may still exist along with dual or multiple exchange rates if insufficient currency is allocated to the official parallel exchange rate or if certain transactions, such as for narcotics, are excluded.
In the Soviet Union, despite the severe statutory punishments for currency crimes, black market transactions were carried out by practically everybody. By the late 1980s, services such as car repairs and plumbing, which would ordinarily take months, could be instantly arranged in exchange for payment in US dollars, Swiss Francs or West German Marks. Even dachas could be illicitly procured for $15,000 to $20,000. In urban areas, fully 45% of apartment repairs and 40% of car repairs involved the black market; and 80% of all services in rural areas involved hard currency payments.
