agree  Jennifer Forbes: My Diccionario de Informes Financieros (Coopers & Lybrand) gives several instances of "Letras" meaning bills of exchange issued by banks. Not sure about Argentina in particular, though.

The same as US T-bills, but for much shorter periods. Definitely not a bill of exchange, used in trade for payment of goods or services.

The bills are used to regulate money supply by absorbing pesos on the local money market for short periods by means of weekly auctions, as a result of which they are also constantly maturing.
