Argentina's provincial quasi-currencies — the so-called "patacones" and their regional equivalents — emerged in 2001 as the federal government's fiscal squeeze left provinces unable to meet payroll obligations. Córdoba's series, locally called "lecops" or more precisely tied to the provincial bond-backed emission framework, circulated as genuine transactional currency in supermarkets, pharmacies, and public transport, de facto legal tender within provincial borders despite having no standing under federal monetary law.
The PS#0 reference indicates this note has not yet received a formal Pick Supplement attribution — common for the provincial emergency issues, which were documented unevenly and remain incompletely catalogued.
