After this model, the Central Reserve Bank del Perú (BCRP) released a new version with this character, and, finally, a few years ago the bill with the writer José María Arguedas was put into circulation. Did you know that this first version has gone up in price as a collector’s item? Learn more below.
How much is the first S/20 bill worth?
In online sales portals, the first S/20 bill —in a series issued in 2006— is sold at a price higher than its usual value. It is observed that up to six times its price is offered, that is, S/122.
