Argentina Highest Currency Note and New Banknote Releases

Argentina has seen its fair share of currency fluctuations, but the highest denomination note ever released is a whopping 100,000-peso note.

In 1985, Argentina introduced a series of high-denomination banknotes, with the 100,000-peso note being the largest. This note was part of a batch of 3,000,000 notes printed in the United States.

The 100,000-peso note was withdrawn from circulation in 1991, and its value plummeted due to the country's high inflation rate.

Argentina is introducing new currency notes to help combat its high inflation rate. The country's annual inflation rate reached 193 percent per annum, making it difficult for people to carry around cash for simple transactions.

The government has introduced a 20,000-peso bill, the highest denomination banknote of the Javier Milei era to date. A dinner in an average restaurant costs around 20,000 pesos and can now be paid with this banknote.

Prices in Argentina have surged so dramatically that the government has multiplied the size of its biggest bank note in circulation by five – to 10,000 pesos, worth about $10. The new denomination note is expected to hit the streets next month.

The 10,000-peso note is worth $11 at the country's official exchange rate and $9 at the black market exchange rate. Hard currency remains the most popular way to pay for things, with vendors preferring old-fashioned cash payments for big purchases.

Argentina's libertarian President Javier Milei, who took office last December, campaigned on a promise to tame inflation and stabilize the local currency. However, his harsh austerity drive has pushed prices up to levels in the U.S. and Europe, adding to the economic woes of ordinary Argentines.

The new 10,000-peso notes feature small artistic portraits of Manuel Belgrano, a founding father of Argentina, and María Remedios del Valle, a Black Argentine woman and army captain who gained fame fighting the country's War of Independence.

Argentina's inflation has surged dramatically, with prices increasing by 287% in March, making it one of the highest in the world.

The government has responded by multiplying the size of its biggest banknote in circulation to 10,000 pesos, five times the value of the previous biggest bill.

This new denomination note is expected to hit the streets in June and is worth about $10 at the official exchange rate.

The 10,000 peso note is a significant increase from the previous largest bill, which was worth only $2 at the official exchange rate.

To further address the cash demand, the central bank has announced plans to introduce an even bigger bill – a 20,000-peso note – later this year. This move aims to cut costs and meet peso demand by reducing the number of bills needed.

The new 20,000 peso note features Juan Bautista Alberdi, a key figure in Argentina’s 1853 constitution, and has security features such as a watermark of Alberdi’s portrait and a blue security thread.

Argentina's central bank claims that higher denomination notes reduce printing and operational expenses, allowing for fewer bills to meet the same cash demand from the public.
