Venezuelan Craftsman Makes Handbags Out of Worthless Banknotes

Description

The Bolivar, Venezuela's official currency, has become close to worthless thanks to hyperinflation, and common Venezuelans are getting creative to squeeze value from the paper. Richard is one of the those who left Venezuela and now makes craftwork with bolivars in the Colombian border town of Cucuta. He's been making handbags and accessories out of his worthless paper money and selling the crafts in exchange for Colombian pesos.
