It produces legal tender coins and banknotes. It also produces medals and security prints (i.e., passports, subway tokens, postage stamps) that are used and issued by government-run service providers. The present currency printed is the Argentine peso, since 1992.

In 1927 its Museum was inaugurated, which holds historical bill notes, coins, stamps, seals, postal currencies, medals, and others.
