Who in their right mind would accept these Chachos? I know several provinces tried this in the early 2000's and eventually people were able to cash them in but does anyone really think that anyone will get made whole on their Chachos...

Does this tactic really work to revive the economy and consumption? I'm not so sure about that; it was already tried during the 2001 crisis in Argentina, and it didn't turn out well. It worked as a local exchange alternative in some communities but didn't solve the national economic problems...

Our cruise ship will dock at Terminal de Cruceros Benito Quinquela Martín in two weeks on a Sunday. Are there any currency exchange offices (cambios) in that vicinity, or should we take an Uber to Florida Street? Thank you.

Interesting to see how this plays out. La Rioja province is thinking about using their own kind of money instead of dollars. They might even make special bonds using this new money. “I do not want our people to die of hunger,” said the governor. “The currency would have a percentage in cash...

Hello, I'm planning a trip to Argentina at the end of February, visiting Buenos Aires and El Calafate, and I have some questions. Currency I'm a bit confused about the currency situation in Argentina. Should I bring cash in USD or EUR? And how can I ensure I get the best exchange rate for...

I can't wait until these 20,000 and 50,000 notes come out in March 2024. Even the 2,000 peso notes are very elusive and I almost never get them! https://en.mercopress.com/2023/12/26/argentina-s-bcra-planning-larger-denomination-bills
