Argentina's provincial quasi-currencies — the so-called "patacones" and their regional equivalents — emerged in 2001 as provincial governments, cut off from federal transfers during the convertibility crisis, began issuing their own debt instruments to pay salaries and suppliers. Córdoba's version, the LECOP-adjacent provincial bond note, circulated alongside federal currency at par by informal convention rather than legal decree, accepted grudgingly by supermarkets and utilities under political pressure.
The PS#0 reference indicates this hasn't yet been formally catalogued in the Pick Specialized series — attribution and variety differentiation for the 2001 Argentine provincial emissions remain genuinely unsettled among specialists.
