Argentina bringing out new bank note that features map of the Falklands and folk hero who led uprising against the British
- The 50 peso note will be legal currency in six months and worth £3.75
- On one side it features Argentinian folk hero Antonio Rivero
- Rivero, known as 'the Gaucho' led a bloody uprising against the British
Argentina is planning on instituting a new banknote with a map of the Falkland Islands, and a folk hero who led a bloody uprising in the long-disputed territory, in a move that may enrage the British.
Argentinian president Cristina Kirchner announced the move to mark the 32nd anniversary of the Falklands War with Britain, which cost the lives of nearly 1,000 soldiers.
The 50 peso note will be legal currency in the next year, and will be worth around £3.75.

The note will carry the image of the archipelago on one side, and on the other side there will be an image of controversial figure Antonio Rivero, a cowboy who led an uprising against the British in August 1833.
The vigilante, nicknamed the Gaucho, went unpunished at the time because a court system had not been established.
Eventually, due to never being prosecuted, he was revered as a hero in Argentina.
President Kirchner has previously pledged an 'eternal fight' for the Falklands, and was described as pleased with the creation of the new banknote.

An eternal fight? Bring it on you losers.
I'm not a fan of war, but the Falklands was probably our best and only just war in the post-WWII era...... a terrific victory of British seapower over a third world tinpot country that claims the Falklands on no other grounds than 'its nearby' - that'd be like Britain claiming ownership of the Netherlands or Brittany in France.
More sabre rattling though from a country that is in serious economic trouble. Standard.
Thoughts?
