By the mid-1980s, Uruguay's peso had been so ravaged by inflation that the "nuevo peso," introduced in 1975 as a redenomination at 1000-to-1, was itself becoming unworkable at everyday transaction values. A 10,000-denomination note was the predictable result. The series was short-lived: in 1993, Uruguay redenominated again, replacing 1000 nuevos pesos with one peso uruguayo — rendering this note obsolete within a decade of printing.
The American Bank Note Company's contract for this series was among its last major Latin American commissions before the firm's 1999 bankruptcy filing.
