American Banknote

Argentina has a new largest banknote, the 10,000 peso, which is five times the size of the previous top bill but still only worth around $11.

The US will put the image of a woman on an American banknote for the first time in over a century, breaking the lock that white male political heroes have on the greenback.

In its first remake since 1969, the $100 banknote, which takes a key role in cash transactions worldwide, sports the traditional portrait of statesman Benjamin Franklin, a leader of the American Revolution, on the front and a picture of Philadelphia's Independence Hall on the back.
