Uruguay's 2000 coinage reform collapsed nine denominations into a simplified decimal structure, a direct administrative response to the chronic inflation that had rendered smaller coins functionally worthless through the 1990s. The 10 Pesos Uruguayos effectively replaced the 10,000 Nuevos Pesos — the redenomination ratio alone illustrates how badly the previous system had deteriorated. Artigas was the inevitable honoree; the revolutionary leader and founding father has anchored Uruguayan currency iconography since the nineteenth century, and no serious alternative was ever politically viable.
