""El que apuesta al dolar pierde." ("Whoever gambles with the dollar loses") - Said in 1976 by then Minister of Economy Lorenzo Sigaut in order to discourage the use of foregin currency to boost the local Peso. Ironically, two days after this statement the dollar increased in value by %30 making everyone who had "gambled" with the dollar rich. This display of incompetence eventually led to Sigaut's resignation."
