Currency Buenos Aires The Argentine monetary unit is the peso. The peso is divided into 100 centavos. There are coins of 10¢, 25¢, 50¢, $1, $2, & $5. Paper money starts at 10 pesos. Denominations in the thousands are signified by a (.) rather than a (,). Thus, $1.000 means one thousand pesos and $1,50 means one peso and 50 cents.
