Hello fellow collectors:
NOTE: I'm NOT a banknote collector and I don't know much about the formalities of banknote classification (yet).
I'm trying to add a bunch of emergency banknotes issued by different Argentinean provinces in the 1980s (Australes) and 1990s (Pesos convertibles). I see the catalog is all over the place with these, and I think someone should set a guideline of how these should be treated.
These are found in Krause's 'Standard Catalog of World Paper Money - Specialized Issues'

Some are under "Argentina" and entered as "Local banknotes" including:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note224481.html
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note224488.html
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note229288.html

Others are under "Argentina -> Provinces" and even so they are wrongly placed, as Salta's banknote under Tucuman:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note222585.html
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note203156.html
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note222584.html

IMHO these are provincial (bonds & titles) issued not by the national government but by each of the provinces and, as such, should be placed as Argentina Provincial (Jujuy, Salta, Tucuman, La Rioja, Buenos Aires, are the ones I have), but I'll follow the lead of the experts in this field.

Thanks,
Alex.

What a great idea, Alex.

The Argentinian provinces are self-governing entities - like the states in the U.S.A..

Of course, their notes deserve listing - along with any local notes that were issued by various local banks other than the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina.

Quite a few community currency notes have been issued in South America - including in both Argentina & Venezuela.

They warrant listing as well.

Hello,

I believe the issues described in this thread are now fixed, so I'm closing it.
Feel free to open a new topic for anything which still need to be fixed.
