10 Pesos

Corrientes province issued its own emergency quasi-currency — the "Cecacor" — in 2001 when the Argentine federal government's convertibility regime had choked the provinces of liquidity. These notes functioned as wage and supplier payments when the province simply had no access to pesos. Corrientes was among the most fiscally distressed provinces in the country at that point, having already been placed under federal intervention in 1999 following a budget crisis that shut down public services for months.

The Cecacor series circulated alongside similar instruments from other provinces — Patacones in Buenos Aires, Lecops federally — but Corrientes issued in comparatively small quantities, making survivors harder to locate than the better-documented Buenos Aires issues.
