Argentina launched a commemorative coin of Maradona’s goal and it is worth less than a chocolate coin

They almost put the Malvinas on the front

Falkland Islands Border.- The Central Bank of Argentina launched a coin celebratory of Maradona’s goal in the ’86 World Cup, but it is worth less than a chocolate coin.

As part of the FIFA World Cup 2026 International Commemorative Coin Programthe gaucho institution issued the piece whose main motif is a diagram of that historic play of the Argentine National Team’s goal against England, which will turn 40 years old in 2026.

The problem is not so much that the Argentine Bank has not chosen the first goal (the one he scored with his hand) to mint it, but that the coin as such has a nominal value of 10 Argentine pesos. Translated into any decent currency, that amounts to practically nothing.

The coin is worth less than a chocolate one

And 10 Argentine pesos are equivalent to 0.13 Mexican pesos, and let’s not even talk about how much it would be in dollars or pounds sterling; I mean, because of the rival that Maradona scored that goal against.

This has caused the networks to be filled with sarcastic comments pointing out that said currency is worth less than chocolate ones, those that are so common in our country and that every child has ever used to feel like Indiana Jones or the protagonist of Uncharted.

Returning to the “valuable” coin, the design presents – on the reverse – a ball crossing the piece, while on the obverse the diagram is shown with the direction that Maradona took due to the lack of English defense, that same play that allows the entire Argentina Keep avoiding talking about boxing, gastronomy, culture, or how chimichurri is Italian.

And to be up to date: some IMSS doctors made fun of a patient, and this is how it went on the networks.
