Colas en el banco / Queues at the bank

Luego de 45 minutos de cola, nos dejaron retirar sólo Bs. 15.000 en el Banco de Venezuela. La escasez de billetes era tal, que en otro banco me pagaron la pensión del IVSS en billetes de 2 y de 20.

After a 45 minute queue, at the Banco de Venezuela we were allowed to withdraw only Bs. 15.000 (under US$ 300 at the official rate and under $ 3 at the black market rate).  Bills are so scarce that at another bank my pension was paid in Bs. 2 and 20 bills.
