    Argentina peso is so rekt that there is a parallel market called blue dollar 💸

    The official rate is half the blue dollar rate, so if you use an ATM you pay 2x 🙅‍♀️

    Instead, you can trade $100 bills for a sack of pesos, they’ll even deliver it 🎒

    The largest bill is worth $2, but you mostly get $1’s, so this is $500 😵‍💫

    Spending cash involves carrying a ton of paper, 3x more than in 🇮🇩 or 🇻🇳 🤯

    Happy New Year from Buenos Aires 🇦🇷🎉
