Dear friends from Tango list

Today , in ARgentina, will be the last day for the old notes of ARG$ 50 &
ARG$ 100.

The new notes already issued and being used massively (due to high security
measures in their
printing) are being supplied by all the ATM machines around Buenos Aires.

Tne new notes have in their left side , a bright vertical line of dots .If
the note is placed against
the light, it is clearly seen this line of dots as a full line, since the
special material used for this
line has been sewed in the surface and within the surface of the note, to
prevent the printings
of fake notes.

Also the numbers printed on the new notes , in their left upper corner
"50" ,"100") have a special treatment
called "optimum variability" , which means that the color of the numbers
change from green to blue, depending
the angle of light that receive.

Old notes of 50 & 100 , will be acepted for change from next monday , only
at Banco de la Nacion Argentina
branches , and Banco Central . Since there are branches of Banco de la
Nacion Argentina at the Ezeiza international
airport , I suppose there will be no problem for those departing tourists
this weekend, that will change their peso notes
for another currency , when leaving to their countries of origin.

Warm milonguero regards
Alberto Gesualdi
