Argentina's first $2,000 bills will begin to be seen on the street. After 6.6% inflation that month, plus 7.7% in March and 8.4% in April, those $2,.000 are now worth $1,579.
The number of banknotes that turn over because of inflation and the refusal to issue them of greater value is staggering. More than 3,000 million $1,.000 peso bills and more than 1,300 million $500 bills are left over as samples.
