“The Argentine government has banned the saving in foreign currency some time ago. If you are authorized to buy foreign currency because you’re traveling abroad it will only be authorized right before the flight and only minimum amounts, a couple hundred bucks or so. Once your back, the government will check how much money you spent. Remember those debates about gold being a currency or not? Well, that debate is settled for the Argentine government: Yes, it is a currency. No, you cannot buy it unless you travel to a country that uses it. You may be wondering ‘But no country uses gold as currency….’ OK, so you can’t buy it then. Genius.”
