In the midst of the reborn Maradonian fever, a clamor has been growing in social networks: that the Government launch a ticket in tribute to Diego.

At first, the proposal was for Maradona to be the new face of the $ 10 bill. But with the devalued purchasing power of the Argentine peso, users doubled the bet and now ask that the best player in history be

What started almost as a joke was gaining weight in the networks.

And it leads the government to an area that economic officials want to avoid: the need to

.

Today, the highest denomination bill is the hornero, for $ 1,000.

At the exchange rate of the dollar, savings - $ 142-

That is why since the beginning of this year, when the purchasing power of the thousand-dollar bill was greater than the current one, the need has already been raised in the market to have at least a $ 5,000 bill.

AN EXCELLENT INITIATIVE.

If you agree, sign the petition

They are going to love them all.

Although at the start of the quarantine

 - even a design was known, with the images of the public health specialist Ramón Carillo and Cecilia Grierson, the first Argentine doctor - the Government put the brakes.

Is that for officials to issue a higher denomination note is the equivalent of admitting the failure of policies to curb inflation.

Since 2007, the country has suffered the impact of inflation that does not fall below double digits

.

Last year it reached 53.8% and for this year the forecasts indicate that it will be at 38%.

Now Diego's death puts the issue of tickets back on the public agenda, albeit from the place of the tribute.

* Maradona's ticket *. Let them make the 10,000 bill With Diego's face, thousands of fans in the world will want to have it. In official exchange it would be about US $ 80.

The clamor for Diego's ticket is already on Change.org,

the platform where users can drive public campaigns.

There is already a possible design: Diego with the blue and white next to the World Cup.

"Add your signature so that the government issues Maradona's 10,000 bill, the pesos would be sought worldwide.

Let's make the 10,000 Maradona note, a limited edition worldwide.

The goal of the century ”, reads the petition.

Some users even suggest that if the idea prospers it would be a good deal:

and would allow the country to get hold of the scarce dollars.

Very good idea.

An Argentine banknote of world interest for the first time is no small thing.

Another gift from Diego to the country.

The intention would be that even if the bill was legal tender it would

and not in a transactional way.

And target fans around the world, who would take Diego's ticket for a handful of dollars.

The idea of ​​Diego appearing on a ticket is not new.

Eight years ago it was already motorized by Guido Sandleris, who in 2018 would be president of the Central Bank.

On July 29, 2012 Sandleris, who defines himself as an economist and bostero on social networks, published a request on Twitter: "Avoid the 100 and Maradona the 10. DIEGO."

Look guys, bank to death the idea of ​​Diego in the Ticket, is more, less San Martin and Belgrano take everyone out and put Diego and Claudia.

But the concept of a 10 thousand bill scares me more than when Brazil attacks.

Now, the management of the Central is in the hands of Miguel Pesce and he faces other challenges with physical tickets.

, which in blue dollar terms represents 0.61 cents.

Faced with the great demand for liquidity generated by the end of the year, banks and large businesses seek to get rid of the bills with the image of Evita or the taruca and instead

that take up less space and will be essential to the time to pay the Christmas bonus. 

In this context, the Government will import banknotes from Spain to alleviate getting out of trouble.

Given the possibility of a shortage at the end of the year, the Alberto Fernández administration ordered the purchase of a $ 1,000 item of papers from the Spanish Mint and Stamp House.

The Spanish banknotes will be added to the 400 million of the same denomination that the Government will bring from Brazil also this year.
