I - Banknotes and coins in circulation.
By virtue of the power conferred by its Organic Charter, and taking into account the provisions established by Law 18.188 and its Regulatory Decree 7.250/69, from January 1, 1970 the Central Bank has issued banknotes and coins that make up the current monetary line, whose unit is the peso.

The banknotes are of uniform size, 155 by 75 millimeters. The values of 500, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, 50,000, 100,000 and 500,000 pesos reproduce on their obverse the effigy of General don José de San Martín.

The reverses present panoramic views of different areas of the country, monuments, historical events or places and fronts of public buildings.

The metallic pieces, composed of values of 1, 5, 10, 50 and 100 pesos were minted in circular shape, with reeded edge, in planchets of copper (92%), aluminum (6%), nickel (2%). From May 1980, with the same characteristics and coloration, the values of $50 and $100 are minted in planchets of steel plated with nickel brass.

In addition, the Central Bank has put into circulation coins of legal tender allusive to the World Football Championship of the year 1978, of 20, 50, 100, 1,000, 2,000 and 3,000 pesos. These last three values were minted in 900 silver.
