About Argentine Peso ($)

The Argentine Peso (ARS, ISO 4217 code 032, symbol $) is the official currency of the Argentine Republic, issued by the Banco Central de la Repรบblica Argentina (BCRA, est. 1935). Subdivided into 100 centavos (no longer in physical circulation due to inflation). Banknotes circulate in $100, $200, $500, $1,000, $2,000, $10,000, $20,000 denominations (each new high-denomination note has been introduced rapidly as triple-digit inflation eroded purchasing power โ€” the $10,000 note was approved 2023, $20,000 in 2024); coins are rarely used in daily transactions. Argentina has experienced repeated currency crises โ€” the 2001 'Corralito' bank-deposit freeze, the 2018 IMF $57 billion bailout, and currently the worst inflation since 1989 (~211% in 2023 per INDEC, ~290% peaking in April 2024). President Javier Milei (inaugurated December 10, 2023) has pursued aggressive fiscal stabilization and floated proposals to dollarize. ARS is subject to multiple parallel exchange rates ('blue dollar', MEP, CCL) often diverging 20-50% from the official rate.
