Is Argentina really considering putting Messi's face on a banknote?

Many websites and social media users circulated posts saying that the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA) issued a new 1,000 peso note with Lionel Messi’s face on it.

However, the BCRA denied that.

This came less than a week after Argentina won the FIFA World Cup.
