According to the Tango press, right after the home team’s victory over France, the Central Bank of Argentina had an emergency meeting. This meeting discussed many important issues such as the team’s prize money, how to pay tribute to the team and even the plan to print Messi’s image on the 1,000 peso bill, which is the highest denomination note in Argentina (1,000 pesos is equivalent to nearly 1,000 pesos). 8 USD).
As is customary, for every historical event, Argentina will release special notes. They did it after winning the 1978 World Cup, the 50th anniversary of the death of Eva Peron (the late first lady of Argentina) and this year, 2022, another world championship. That prompted Argentina’s central bank to launch a banknote in Messi’s honor.
Messi can appear on the 1,000 peso bill
The front of the bill has a picture of Messi, the back has a picture of coach Lionel Scaloni. This is the idea put forward by Eduardo Hecker, president of the Central Bank of Argentina. And it is likely that this special note will be printed in limited edition.
Many opinions support the plan, especially Governor Lisandro Cleri. However, there are also objections because they believe that in the context of escalating inflation, the cost of producing a new banknote will be very expensive, affecting the general budget. But the majority of supporters believe that this is the least they can do for the national team, especially the star Messi.
In addition, the parties also discussed a gratitude ceremony for the home team. But this is very difficult when the members Albiceleste will have very little time at home. And certainly they are also very busy with the endless celebratory events after the championship.
