Argentina launches a new 2,000-peso banknote, the largest in circulation at this time. The note is not yet in the hands of Argentines, but will be distributed to banks gradually during the week.
The new note will pay tribute to pioneers in Argentine science and medicine, including portraits of Ramon Carrillo (1906-1956), neurosurgeon, neurobiologist, former Minister of Health and who advanced vaccination, and Cecilia Grierson (1859-1934), the first female doctor.
