In the year 2022, during the presidency of Alberto Fernandez, the issuance of a new family of bills was announced that marks the return of historical personalities to paper money.

The new family is made up of four denominations that include the representation of three women and three men who played a decisive role in the construction of Argentina.

As a unique and novel element, some denominations pay homage to two personalities on the same bill. Likewise, they return to their reading in horizontal format on both sides.

Due to the high inflation of those years, the $100, $200 and $500 bills were never issued.

In 2024, during the presidency of Javier Milei, the $10,000 bill was issued using the images designed for the $500 bill. Currently there is no $5,000 bill.

Curiosities


On April 16, 2020, the Central Bank board approved the creation of the new $5,000 bill. The next day, the entity sent instructions to Casa de la Moneda to send it a budget and start the procedures with a view to providing the necessary supplies. The Central Bank note also established the characteristics of the new bill. On the front it would have images of Ramón Carrillo, Juan Perón's first Minister of Health, accompanied by Cecilia Grierson, the first Argentine doctor, and on the back the figure of the Malbrán Institute is cut out.
