That's true. In Argentina, it's common to pay for dinner with a pile of notes. This is because the Argentine peso is a very weak currency, and it's often difficult to get change for large bills.

For example, a meal at a mid-range restaurant might cost around 1,000 pesos. This is about $10 USD. If you try to pay with a 1,000 peso bill, the waiter might not have change for you. So, you'll need to bring a pile of smaller bills to make up the difference.

This can be a bit of a hassle, but it's just the way things are done in Argentina. If you're planning on visiting the country, be sure to bring some small bills with you. You'll be glad you did!

Here are some tips for paying for dinner in Argentina:

Bring a pile of small bills with you.

If you don't have change, ask the waiter if they can break a large bill for you.

If you're paying with a credit card, be prepared to pay a surcharge.

Tipping is not expected in Argentina, but it is appreciated.

10$usd is closer to 5000 pesos and literally no one has trouble making change for the largest bill 1000 pesos which is 2usd (they’ve released a 2000 peso bill but it’s new and barely circulating. Some of the things you are saying were certainly valid 15 years ago with 100 peso notes which were worth over 30usd but not anymore.
