2 Pesos

Corrientes issued its own provincial currency in the late 1990s and early 2000s — a direct consequence of the Argentine federal government's fiscal squeeze on the provinces under the Convertibility regime. These notes, called "Cecacor" (Certificados de Cancelación de Deudas de Corrientes), were used to pay provincial employees and contractors when the province lacked sufficient federal transfers to meet its obligations in national pesos.

The Cecacor circulated under legal duress — local businesses were effectively compelled to accept them despite having no obligation to do so under federal law. Several other Argentine provinces issued similar quasi-currencies in the same period, but Corrientes was among the earliest and most aggressive in doing so.
