| Additional information |
This denomination was introduced as part of Argentina's response to accelerating inflation that was steadily eroding the purchasing power of smaller coins. By the time production of this type ended in 2020, inflation had already rendered 10 pesos nearly worthless for everyday transactions — the Banco Central was simultaneously planning higher-denomination coinage that would itself become inadequate within months.
