There has been problems with Argentina’s currency for decades nowhttps://www.worlddata.info/america/argentina/inflation-rates...

Nowhere IMO, just appealing to OP's better sense given that Argentina has been trying for decades the same monetary policy to fix the issues it created!

I'm just explaining facts that most people in Argentina would agree with, and get downvotes because what I say sounds completely absurd to educated people who live in developed countries. Argentina's economy is a mess and there are good reasons for it. If you want to check what I say, you can go to /r/argentina and ask there.
