10 000 Pesos

Argentina's inflation crisis forced the introduction of this 10,000-peso denomination in 2024 — a value that would have been unthinkable a decade earlier. The contract with China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation reflects a broader regional trend of Latin American central banks outsourcing to Chinese state printers, driven largely by cost and capacity constraints at domestic facilities like Casa de Moneda.

The cotton substrate at 90 g/m2 is relatively light for a high-denomination note, with security limited to a watermark — a thin specification given the inflationary pressure this denomination was created to address.
