The 2000 Pesos Uruguayos denomination was introduced as part of Uruguay's broader currency family redesign in the 2010s, a series that leaned heavily on Oberthur Fiduciaire for production — the same French security printer behind notes for dozens of central banks during this period. Uruguay's relatively stable monetary environment since the catastrophic 2002 banking crisis, when the peso lost roughly half its value in weeks, meant the 2000 denomination could function as a genuine high-value transactional note rather than an inflation placeholder.
Mario Bergara served as BCU president from 2008 to 2013 before moving to the Finance Ministry; his signature here ties this specific print run to a defined window within the series.
