Jujuy's 1995 peso note is one of the more curious artifacts of Argentina's provincial quasi-currency experiment. During the Convertibility period, when the national peso was pegged one-to-one with the US dollar, several cash-strapped provinces issued their own debt instruments — locally called "patacones" or simply bonos — that circulated as de facto money. Jujuy's version was printed by Ciccone Calcográfica, the Buenos Aires-area security printer responsible for much of Argentina's domestic note production through the 1990s.
These provincial instruments were technically bonds, not legal tender, but necessity made them function as currency in local commerce.
