El Financiaro, a financial newspaper, has denied the news that superstar Messi’s image will be included in Argentina’s currency after winning the World Cup title. Officials at the Central Bank of Argentina made the instruction as a joke, the newspaper reported. There were reports that the image is being included on the currency to commemorate the country’s crowning achievement after a 36-year wait.
After the World Cup victory, there were reports that Messi’s image will be printed on the country’s 1000 peso note. The pictures of the notes in the name of Messi’s notes went viral on social media. After this, El Financiaro came out with an explanation. The newspaper added that such suggestions were laughable and there was no such decision at present.
After winning the World Cup in 1978, the Central Bank of Argentina issued a special coin.
