If you are visiting Argentina, I have a friendly piece of advice. Make sure to break any $100 peso notes before the weekend. If you want a coke or a hot dog, 95% of the businesses will not change a hundred unless you are buying $60 to $80 worth of products.
If you only have hundreds, you can't take a taxi, get an ice cream, buy a paper, or any other small purchase. Going out the door on Saturday with $100 in your pocket is the same as leaving the hotel with no money.
Tip: In an emergency, McDonald's will change your hundred, but they will sneer at you. That is the only business that believes "A sale is a sale and you should make all the sales you can." - a given in the U.S.
Businesses here would rather not make the sale, than run out of change. Thinking ahead is generally not a common virtue.
