| Comments |
Mendoza is one of the few Argentine provinces to have operated its own mint — the Casa de Moneda de la Provincia de Mendoza — giving it the rare ability to produce emergency quasi-currency entirely within provincial borders. This note is part of the wave of provincial "Lecop"-style instruments that persisted well after the 2001–2002 federal collapse, with several provinces continuing to print their own paper past the formal end of the crisis as Buenos Aires moved slowly to reabsorb circulating surrogates.
