Argentina's inflexible currency-board scheme not only pegs the peso at par to the dollar but limits the money supply to the level of hard-currency reserves, in effect turning monetary policy over to the United States' Federal Reserve.

In fact, the eventual deal not only in effect abolished fees, but by some judicious tweaking of the Scottish budget found money to help more hard-up students go to university.
