This month, La Rioja has become the latest Argentine province to introduce a new quasi-currency, aiming to provide financial relief to residents grappling with economic challenges. The emergence of provincial currencies traces back to Argentina’s economic crash in 2001, after which several provinces issued their own alternatives to the peso.
Experts like Joel Richards from La Rioja believe that the new currency can offer a much-needed lifeline to those struggling to make ends meet in these uncertain times.
