From what I heard he is even thinking about getting rid of the argentinian currency and replace it with the US$, for more stability.
Then they would not need a central bank as we usually see it. Obviously they would not be allowed to print US$ themself.
Which gets us to the question: what would the USA say to that plan? And what do they think of a possible president Milei in general?
Well, the good thing is - it can hardly get much worse for Argentinia than it is already.

Yes, it's interesting. Adopting USD would be a contradiction in some ways since there is fiat currency and a central bank behind USD and the US government likes to print money too....
But maybe he's just trying not to get assassinated by the CIA.
Well, compared with the Argentinian currencies, the US$ is still rock solid.
And the idea is not new - these countries already do that:
Ecuador
El Salvador
East Timor (Timor-Leste)
Zimbabwe (though other currencies are also widely used)
British Virgin Islands
Caribbean Netherlands (Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba)
Turks and Caicos Islands
Zimbabwe (since 2009, due to hyperinflation of its own currency)
There is that, too... Wouldn't be the first time.
