==Banknotes of the peso convertible (1992–present)==

 

In 1992, the first series of peso convertible banknotes were introduced in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100&nbsp;pesos. The 1-peso note was replaced by a coin in 1994. Until 2001 banknotes bore the legend "Convertibles de curso legal", meaning that their value was fixed to the same amount in US dollars. As most older bills have been replaced, it is rare to find ones marked as convertible except in the $100 denominations. All bills are 155 × 65&nbsp;mm in size.<ref>{{cite web|last=Banco Central de la República Argentina|title=Notes|url=http://www.bcra.gov.ar/bilmon/bm000000_i.asp|publisher=Banco Central de la República Argentina|access-date=25 June 2013}}</ref>
