Art1.2 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Here is my Argentina 1 PESO got today Does anybody know if 1 PESO is still used in Argentina or not ? Nice note. Good question. I do not know the answer and a quick search hasn't turned up anything specific about it. Hopefully someone will be along to answer soon.

Jonguler Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Argentina has used the Peso as the name for their currency for a long time. (Back to the nineteenth Century I think, when they were gold coins). They had a period of hyper-inflation in the 1980s and I have a one million Peso note from that period. They still currently use the Peso - but it is a reissued currency. Unfortunately I can't see where they put a date on their notes, so I couldn't say which version of the peso you have. Looks not dissimilar to my million, so it could be from just before the inflation killed things off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I bought some notgeld recently. One of them is a small set from Oberammergau. There's a neat little history to the city, which these notes commemorate if you're interested. http://www.banknoteden.com/German_Notgeld_Oberammergau.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Thanks Art! Here's another note I think has some interesting aspects. Argentina, 50 Pesos. New issue, picturing the Falkland Islands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Bottom right design is pretty rad - reminds me of some Grateful Dead artwork. What does the obverse say? I'm sure it says somethin', but I can't be too certain what, exactly. It's in the old German script, and Notgeld is typically written in some type of dialect-ical manner that my middle and high school German can't penetrate enough to be worthy of more than a guess.

Dave Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Well, Here's a note that wound up in my collection today. French West Africa 1 Franc from 1944. These are pretty common, but I don't see too many in this good of condition. The printing on this series of three notes is pretty basic.
