10.000 Australes

Jujuy's provincial Australes notes were a direct consequence of Argentina's chronic inability to keep small-denomination federal currency in circulation during the hyperinflationary spiral of 1989–1991. Provinces were legally permitted to issue their own quasi-currency — technically "bonds" — to pay employees and suppliers when federal cash ran out. Jujuy was among several northwestern provinces that exercised this right, producing notes that circulated locally as de facto money despite having no backing from the Banco Central.

The Austral itself was already a doomed unit by 1991, replaced by the Peso Convertible in April 1992 at a rate of 10,000 Australes to 1 Peso — making this note's face value precisely one convertibility-era peso, a coincidence that also made redemption calculations simple.
