It has occurred in parallel to one of the world’s highest inflation rates. The artwork then fetches prices ranging from 40,000 to 70,000 pesos domestically and as much as $300 abroad.

[1/5] Artist Sergio Diaz holds intervened Argentine pesos bills and a US dollar depicting Steven Spielberg's movie "Shark" as a parody of Argentina's ever-increasing inflation, in Salta, Argentina, December 30, 2022. "Nowadays it makes sense for me to paint on the largest denominated bill here in Argentina. Once I paint on it, I can sell it for much more than what the bill is worth," Diaz told Reuters in an interview in the northern city of Salta. He says he weaves the themes of inflation and the peso's depreciation into his works, which also feature the U.S. one-dollar bill.
