As Clarín anticipated weeks ago, the $ 2,000 bill advanced its entry into circulation, and instead of doing it the first days of June as planned, it came to light this Monday, May 22.
Among other details, the Central Bank sent a full description of the "strict security measures" that the note has in place to prevent counterfeiting. Among them, the watermark that reproduces the images of Ramón Carrillo and Cecilia Grierson and the optical variability ink that changes color, with a three-dimensional dynamic effect, stand out.
"The BCRA puts into circulation the commemorative bill of $ 2,000 of legal tender. Which will be distributed progressively through the network of bank branches throughout the country, "said the entity.
The BCRA clarified that "the new legal commemorative banknote is distinguished from the other denominations by presenting as predominant colors shades of dark gray and pink, with the portraits of Grierson and Carrillo on the obverse, while on the reverse the building of the National Institute of Microbiology Dr. Carlos G. Malbrán is represented, in homage to science and Public Health in Argentina."
$2,000 bill: security measures
The departure of the $ 2,000 bill was announced in February of this year by the Central Bank (BCRA) and its departure was scheduled only for the second semester. However, as Clarín confirmed at the beginning of May, the bill finally saw the light a few days before the end of the month.
The Argentine Mint (CMA) had reported, at that time, that "it was able to streamline production processes and advance delivery times of the contracted products."
