Argentina 10 Austral/10,000 Peso

10 Austral over-stamped on a 10,000 peso note, Argentina, 1985. The Austral was a new currency adopted by Argentina in 1985, replacing the Argentine Peso - which had lost its value due to hyperinflation - at a rate of 1 Austral per 1000 pesos. The obverse of the note features a portrait of General Belgrano, one of Argentina's founding fathers - a naval ship ARA General Belgrano, named after him, was sunk during the Falklands war. This was an interim measure, before the new Austral notes could be brought into circulation. The Argentine Peso itself was a short-lived currency, which circulated from 1983-1985, having replaced the Peso Ley (1970-1983). The Austral itself lasted till 1991. Four currencies in a 20-year span show the depth of Argentina's systemic economic problems.
