2000 Nuevos Pesos

Uruguay's 2000 Nuevos Pesos denomination belonged to the second Nuevos Pesos series introduced after the 1975 monetary reform dropped three zeros from the old peso. By 1989, inflation was again severe enough that the 2000 unit note — once a significant sum — was losing purchasing power almost as fast as it could be printed. Within four years, the entire Nuevos Pesos system was itself retired when the Uruguayan peso was reintroduced in 1993, cutting another three zeros and effectively rendering this series obsolete overnight.

Thomas De La Rue's London facilities handled production, as they did for much of the series.
