$ 100 BILL,OLD OR NEW (ars $)
I keep some ars,although I generally loose a bit on the blue rate,and ofcs inflation, from trip to trip,I find it convenient. Anybody know when the old ones will stop being legal tender?

Did not quite understand this,I was asking if anyone knew when the old 100 ars bills would be likely to stop being legal tender,as I generally have some lying around ? In most countries there is a phasing out period when you can use both old and new,after which you have to go to a bank to change them. I am perfectly aware that US or indeed any other foreign banknotes are not legal tender in "La Argentina".

The current AR$100 bills will be good for at least another 18 months..... I don't think the next government will move to change the currency, so even past that, inflation issues aside, the AR$100 bill will be around for quite some while me thinks.....

Definitely the AR$100 bills will be around and valid for a while (new and old ones). The problem you might encounter in some months, will be the value of it. Who knows, maybe they add higher value bills. We are going through times of uncertainty (economy wise). But the old bills are still accepted everywhere and will be like that for quite some time.

The pic was about to be secretly replaced with the Boudou, but that plan hasn't quite gone according to plan. Buy the presses, Buy the presses ... um, I mean Stop the presses, Stop the presses!

For anyone wondering what I was talking about in my earlier post. If you look at the new note the LA TINA text of the BANCO CENTRAL DE LA REPUBLICA ARGENTINA is of a different colour to the rest of the text and positioned to read LA TINA....the pet name CK was known by many years ago.

While much needed, a large denomination bill would be admitting to a certain level of Inflation.... and that is something that these folks don't want to be seen as doing..... (sigh)

I have pre-Evita Ars100's in my travel wallet from my last trip. Will they still be accepted when I arrive next January?
By pre-Evita I mean the Ars100's in circulation in early 2013 before the Evita notes went into circulation.

Yes no problem, it's by far the most common $100 note in circulation.
