The World Cup in Qatar stuck in the minds of Argentines in such a way that Messi was raised to the status of a national idol. This will be the first time that an athlete is receiving all possible decorations in the country, while remaining active. Now, the Argentine will receive perhaps the greatest honor that any personality can receive in his country.
The president of the Banco de la Nacion Argentina, Silvina Batakis, said that the government of that country is studying the issuance of a note of 10,000 Argentine pesos, and proposed that it could be stamped with the image of the captain of the Argentine national team, Lionel Messi. In an interview with "Radio con Vos", she was emphatic and confirmed that she "would totally make a Messi banknote", highlighting the "necessity" of issuing higher denomination banknotes, amid high inflation.

Despite the idea, she revealed that the president is still analyzing the possibility. "You cannot hide the issue of inflation behind a ballot, so I understand that it is something that is being discussed", explained the former Minister of Economy. This isn't the first time the idea has been mooted. Shortly after the world title, the intention began to circulate that Messi would have his face stamped on the banknote of one thousand Argentine pesos.
Homage to Lionel Scaloni
On the back of the note, it was suggested that “La Scaloneta” be inscribed, in allusion to the nickname of Lionel Scaloni for the Argentine national team. It is worth remembering that the Central Bank of Argentina issued commemorative coins when the country won its first World Cup in 1978, as well as during the celebrations of the Bicentennial and the 50th anniversary of the death of Eva Perón.
