Argentina's Central Bank stated that Lionel Messi's image "might be put on a BANKNOTE."
So it appears that Lionel Messi may be purchased.
A new 1,000 peso currency featuring Messi's image has been discussed since the talismanic striker led Argentina to their first World Cup victory in 1986 in Mexico.
The Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina has reportedly been brainstorming ideas to commemorate the historic victory of the national team in Qatar ever since the thrilling 4-2 shootout victory over France in the championship game, according to the publication El Financiero.
Fans are excited to see the 1,000 peso note go into circulation, and mock-ups of the note have now gone viral.
It is thorough.
The fact that the 1,000 bill starts with a "10" — Messi's jersey number for Argentina — is a significant factor in its design, according to EF.
Messi's beaming visage can be seen on one side of the note, and the phrase "La Scaloneta" is suggested for the reverse.
Ever since Jorge Sampaoli was replaced by Lionel Scaloni in 2018, the phrase has come to be synonymous with this group.
Argentina won the 2021 Copa America, the inaugural Finalissima at Wembley Stadium, and the 2022 FIFA World Cup during Scaloni's administration.
It wouldn't be the bank's first attempt to exchange currency with the national team if officials continue with their intention to distribute the note, which they anticipate will become extremely collectible for Argentine residents.
In the past, they produced commemorative coins for Argentina's first World Cup victory in 1978.
On the occasion of Eva Perón's passing, the former First Lady of Argentina, commemorative coins were also created.
Messi is currently relaxing at home in Rosario, where he was greeted by throngs of ecstatic fans on Tuesday after his return.
In the final on Sunday, Messi scored twice as Argentina first gave up a 2-0 lead before giving up a 3-2 lead in overtime. They ultimately prevailed in the penalty shootout 4-2.
He was voted Player of the Tournament, and in the coming year, he will return to Paris Saint-Germain hungry to add the Champions League to his outstanding 2022–23 campaign.
