2000 Pesos

Argentina's turn to the China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation for this issue reflects the country's chronic foreign-currency constraints — the BCRA simply could not afford to contract European security printers whose fees are typically settled in dollars or euros. CBPM had already been producing Argentine notes for several years by this point, an arrangement that quietly expanded as the peso crisis deepened.

The 2,000-peso denomination was itself introduced in 2023 in direct response to hyperinflationary pressure that had rendered smaller notes nearly useless for everyday transactions. Within months of issue, inflation had already begun eroding its practical value again.
