13. yeeeeeaa well actually candy isn't currency in Argentina, believe me im from there, its true there's not a lot of coins because inflation pretty much rendered them useless (imagine a 2 liter coke instead of being 1,99 its 19,99 the penny you would get as change loses power and importance and could even be more expensive to produce than the actual value of the coin, to give a quick exp. to the people who might not understand inflation) however they are only used when change has to be given normally less than 1 peso, its optional so you can allways ask for the change and it will normally be given, on the more ludicrous side sometimes the merchant will just refuse to sell you the item because he cannot give you change this normally happens if you buy lets say a 2-5 peso item with a 100 peso bill, on the upside if you are offered candy instead of change, most of the time you can pick what candy you want and sometimes get away with a candy that is more expensive than the actual change you would have received, for exp. a 75 cent candy for 50 cents change BUT the most important thing is that no one ( probably not even the merchant that gave you the candy ) will receive candy as payment it is only given as change you cant buy anything with a bag of candy lol and that is why its not currency because it doesn't go both ways.
