| Additional information |
Argentina's monetary instability in the early 2010s created a peculiar hoarding dynamic for base-metal coinage: as the official exchange rate diverged sharply from the parallel "dólar blue," small-denomination coins disappeared from circulation not because they were saved but because their metal value and vending-machine utility outpaced their face value in practical terms. The Central Bank repeatedly struggled to maintain adequate coin supply in Buenos Aires during this period.
