It may have been spent in Argentina (4)

I believe the answer is:
peso
'it may have been spent in argentina' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
This is all the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peso that I've seen before include "Mexican coin" , "Chilean currency" , "ready for Mexican" , "Currency of Mexico" , "Mexican monetary unit" .)
