While the ARGENTINA 2 Pesos and 50 Pesos banknotes I have are extremely wrinkly, they are a wonderful contribution from a family friend. The undated 2 Pesos note was printed anywhere from 1997 to 2002 and features Bartholomé Mitre (Argentina's president, 1861-68). This 50 Pesos note is also undated, being created anywhere from 1999 to 2003. It features Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, a presidential successor to Mitre (1868-74) credited for helping end the war with Paraguay and furthered educational opportunities for illiterate Argentinians.
