Tucumán's provincial emergency notes of 1985–86 were a direct consequence of the hyperinflationary collapse that was consuming Argentina's national currency. Provinces could not obtain sufficient Austral notes from the central government — the newly introduced Austral had replaced the Peso Argentino in June 1985, but supply simply could not meet demand at the provincial level — so Tucumán issued its own fractional scrip through Casa de Moneda, the same federal printer responsible for national currency production.
The arrangement was legally awkward. Provincial paper money had been constitutionally prohibited in Argentina, but the crisis created a pragmatic tolerance for it.
