Talk:Malvinas Islands peso

Untitled
The Malvinas Islands peso was a promissory note issued by the Governor who is local representative of the Central Government. Promissory Notes can act as currency and be considered currency when there are no other options. Current Scottish and Northern Irish Pound Sterling banknotes are Promissory Notes issued by private parties (Private banks) but are considered currency. Removing Categories referring to Currencies of Argentina and Currencies of the Americas is POV and has an agenda.

 * No they were individual promissory notes issued on the basis of Vernet's personal fortune. Brisbane devalued them as a result of Vernet's reduced status following the Lexington raid.  They were not guaranteed by the state, nor were they issued by Vernet on the basis of his status as Governor by appointment of the Government of Buenos Aires. You're elevating them to a status they did not posess.  They were later honoured by the British, who went on to deduct the difference from the final settlement with Vernet over assets left in the Falklands.  Justin talk 14:40, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
