In the early 2000s, Argentina's economic collapse prompted numerous provinces to issue their own quasi-currencies — emergency instruments used to pay government wages and keep local commerce moving when federal pesos were effectively unobtainable. Chaco was among the poorest provinces in the country, and its bond-notes circulated widely among workers with nowhere else to turn.
The PS# designation remains unassigned in the standard catalogue, suggesting this particular emission is either insufficiently documented or was a late-identified local variant. Chaco issued multiple denominations during this period; separating confirmed print runs from provisional or recalled issues continues to complicate attribution.
