Synopsis
During the Junta period in Pinochet’s Chile, banknotes are used as resistance leaflets. Between 1973 and 1975, General Cano, President of the Central Bank, fights against inflation and the defaced banknotes. As a result, he must withdraw banknotes and have new ones printed. During the interview, Cano shows some banknotes with handwritten slogans and comments on them.
