Ending the Coin Shortage
February 10th, 2009 Posted in cultureWritten by Jamie
As I posted about before, there is a shortage of coins in Argentina. The “change game” is a part of everyday life throughout the nation.
According to BBC News, the president has decided to create an electric card for public transportation in Buenos Aires, thus eliminating the need for coins on the bus and train.
ANBariloche is now reporting a similar system for Bariloche bus riders on some of their routes.
Only time will tell if these new measures will help the drama de moneda.
