Argentina unveils new 2,000-peso banknote as inflation bites
By Thomas MackintoshBBC News
A new 2,000-peso banknote will be issued in Argentina in response to soaring inflation, the country's Central Bank (BCRA) has confirmed.
The new Note - which will be worth $11 (£9) officially - comes after consumer prices jumped by nearly 95% in the 12 Months to The End of December.
It marks Argentina's fastest pace of inflation since 1991.
The largest current bill, the 1,000-peso Note , is worth just $2. 70 on The Alternative markets.
Writing on Twitter, the BCRA said the new Note would " commemorate the development of science and medicine in Argentina".
It will feature pioneering doctors Cecilia Grierson and Ramón Carrillo , it added - although it is not clear when The Note will enter circulation.

Argentina has seen prices rise sharply as the cost of commodities, including energy, has gone up.
Soaring prices have largely been attributed to a bout of Central Bank money-printing, as well as The War in Ukraine.
In December, The International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved another $6bn (£4. 9bn) of bailout money for South America 's second largest economy.
It was the latest payout for Argentina in a 30-month programme that is expected to reach a total of $44bn.
