The peso (originally established as the nuevo peso argentino or peso convertible) is the currency of Argentina. The symbol used locally for it is $ (to avoid confusion, Argentines frequently use U$S to indicate U.S. dollars). It is divided into 100 centavos. The peso was also the name of several earlier currencies of Argentina.

The current peso replaced the austral at a rate of 1 peso = 10,000 australes. It was also referred to as peso convertible since the international exchange rate was fixed by the Central Bank at 1 peso = 1 U.S. dollar and for every peso convertible circulating, there was a U.S. dollar in the Central Bank"s foreign currency reserves.
